this album to me feels like an auditory version of one of those “melancholic journey of self discovery” film. great music with fantastic spoken word prose laid over top. Perfect for a late night drive or mid day walk through the park. but be warned, this album will make you feel things.

The standout hits are Slugs (my song of the summer) and Yard (truly a song worth sitting and crying to).
I wouldn’t say they’re sad rock, but their songs are very reflective of past love / mistakes / recognizing your limits as a person / a long to change who you are; you can relate to the album regardless of where you’re at. They also have a little midwestern hint to their sound, and they sneak a harmonica & some banjo into Broadview, which is a nice little change of pace.
I like albums that make you feel things and this one brings a sense of understanding & acceptance whenever I listen to it. Like yes, I can relate to the feelings & the pain & regret in the songs, but they’re almost written (and meant to be listened to) from the other side, once you’ve made it through those life moments and can look back at them understanding how they’ve brought you to this very moment. That’s this album for me.

i heart mitski etc a LOT but this isn’t sad music in that sense. everyone knows the less i know the better but the album as a whole is really great. currents is a about the ups and downs of the breakup and moving on process, kind of in a chronological order (and with neo-psychedelia sound instead of sad indie. i’ve found that sometimes a mix up in breakup music can be nice)
if you haven’t done so before def listen to it in one sitting and in order with headphones on (or on vinyl!)

I still go on a couple times a day while I’m on the computer but that amounts to about 20x less than I would be otherwise. Brings down screen time more than you’d think.

I don’t want a Spotify wrapped, I don’t want an algorithm telling me what I like. Give me back the local dude at Blockbuster recommending our weekly movie night VHS, give me the cute girl at the record store saying “you might like The Cure”.
Records, VHS, Cassette, Print Magazines….gimme dat shit
