I was researching music that could be considered “mall rock” and this came up. As usual the album cover was the main draw here, but also the drumming on this goes unnecessarily hard. At times it can be a bit orange is the new black theme song-coded (is it regina spektor who sings that?) but the songwriting/production/vocals here are actually all super interesting if you give em a chance!!

the debut album from the musical genius that wrote this drunk driving anthem. some real critter music right here, real creepy crawly type beats (fun, silly hyperpop stuff)

I don’t know much about this album, I found it somewhere and clicked on it cuz the artwork kinda looked like my band’s single artwork.
I usually have too short of an attention span for ambient music, but this drew me in! There are a few songs with random vocal parts that really hit. I guess this is from 2004 so like lost in translation-coded if that makes sense. The song titles also slap and are maybe 75% of why I like this.

This is from ‘93 but sounds like what guitar bands are trying to do (should be doing?) this year. Considered shoegaze but that’s up for debate, it almost sounds like Deftones covering U2 at times. I guess the lyrics are all kind of tongue in cheek about being obsessed with baddies, horny lyrics sang in a horny way. The songs are all pretty similar but distinct enough for you to tell them apart once you listen to it 15 times in a row as I have (and you should).
Never heard of these lads til their stuff got reissued recently. The singer was killed by police in 2017 goddamn.

ok i know there are a a lot of bands doing this kind of thing, this just happens to be the one that I got into. But this album is fun, I think “soft like sugar” was my fav. Well put together goth/ dance punk with lyrics that have vague bdsm undertones but are also very general
