Debut album by a severely underrated band from New Zealand. Hard to give it a specific genre, but expect witty poetics, and an art rock sensibility. They recorded the whole thing on a 4-track cassette and I think it is an example of rock minimalism par excellence. My favorite track “Don‘t Let Me See You Swing and Miss“ is a tender dialogue between the lead singer and a guest vocalist set over somber, melodic guitars—it gets me feeling lots of things. Go check it out đŸ«¶đŸ»

Just recently found this Welsh psych/folk band. They seem like they should be far more famous than they are. As far as I can tell, every song they have is beautiful. It’s like Devendra Banhart meets the Kinks, late 60s British psych, and John Cale (who is apparently a big fan). But it’s also pretty late 90s sounding, makes me feel like a kid. Here’s Faraway Eyes^ (not a Stones cover)

a breathtaking work of experimental modernism, and probably woolf’s greatest masterpiece. the text follows six children as they stumble through life, grow up, grow apart, and grieve a dead friend. written in a nauseous stream of consciousness that blurs each character into the next in an attempt to break down the walls between the inner world and the world of the other. the most successful meditation on big existential questions—death, love, grief, and the impossibility (and harrowing importance) of unfiltered connection—i’ve ever encountered. really hard to describe this one without minimizing it. i recommend reading it in as few sittings as possible to get the full effect.
