Jake Bugg has a new album called Saturday Night, Sunday morning. It’s about My Morning Jacket’s upcoming 3 hour set. Not really, but Jake has returned from his recent pop stuff to his older sound. I like it. Other new stuff I at least partially enjoyed last night was Flag Day Soundtrack (Eddie Vedder, Hansard, Cat Power, and a 17 year old Olivia Vedder on one track), and new albums from Maggie Rose (at Opry this year), Lorde and James McMurtry. A lot of good singles releases too. I’m gonna need a nap today.
Can I go on and vote for Deafheaven or you guys gonna make me wait?
I was a little underwhelmed on first listen, but Villain and Mombasa hit right. They still haven’t eclipsed the beauty of New Bermuda, yet, though.
I was thinking this morning about how it’s really gonna disenfranchise a lot of people that loved those first few albums. It’s a big change in sound but the atmosphere is the same for me. Plus, if a band is around for more than a decade and still making the same records, it might be time to switch up. I’m a pretty big fan of this. Dunno if it’s an experiment or a full change but I dig it.
Mombasa is my favorite 8 minutes of music this year.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Lorde isn’t a contender for ya?
It’s not even close. I like that record a lot but Deafheaven is hitting all the right notes for me. I do have hope for the new Halsey album next week.
Of note, I think you’d really be into the Bnny album. I promise I’m not getting commission for pimping this album, either. In an off month, I’d be my #1.

Hey, I'm gonna co-sign. First, I think the talk about a change in sound/direction is overrated. Vocals aside, this really isn't that different than Ordinary Corrupt Human Love. It definitely trends more towards the "-gaze" side of that album, but this is where they've been headed for a while. Like in my mind, I can piece together a setlist that weaves this stuff very nicely alongside Dream House and Worthless Animal and Canary Yellow and whatever, and it rules. Second, the album is just flat-out great. If this wasn't Deafheaven, and was just some new power-gaze band that GvB was pushing or whatever, it'd still be great. I was prepared to hate the everloving fuck out of this album and I don't, I've listened to it three times in full in the last 36 hours.

yeah all they did was lean harder into an angle they were already taking and just made it easier to win people over who don't like screaming as much

yeah like it would have been more shocking if they made a straightforward black metal album, but if they want to just be a super great heavy shoegaze band, that's fine, the album is phenomenal

also just changing vocal style like that is pretty common for big metal bands, Opeth, Mastodon, Avenged, even something like Linkin Park, as much as it's accessibility it's also really hard on the vocalist
listening to it I was picturing a live set a lot like Opeths actually, like they go black metal-prog-back and use the more crossover stuff to bridge, Mikael screams and sings but mostly sings

It wouldn't be hard at all for them to work this stuff into a set of their older tunes, at all, that's for sure
