Peach Pitās sophomore album āYou and Your Friendsā is such a perfect album. No skips at all, all the songs are so catchy and beautiful. My favorite tracks on it have to be Puppy Grin, Brianās Movie, and Shampoo Bottles. I feel like a lot of the songs on it are very nostalgic? Itās hard to explain, theyāre all about past relationships, platonic and romantic (probably where the album name comes from). Itās very easy to attach songs to experiences youāve lived.
I think the song Iāve most resonated with is Puppy Grin, just the fact itās about hopelessly devoting yourself to someone thatās not even yours to begin with.
Very easy to listen to, hope to get the vinyl soon, canāt wait to see Peach Pit this summer!!

The standout hits are Slugs (my song of the summer) and Yard (truly a song worth sitting and crying to).
I wouldnāt say theyāre 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 youāre 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 theyāre almost written (and meant to be listened to) from the other side, once youāve made it through those life moments and can look back at them understanding how theyāve brought you to this very moment. Thatās this album for me.

Listening to this album recently has made me feel slightly less insane about the state of *my* life and the world in general (ironically I am allergic to peanuts)
Recāing the whole album, but my most played songs are: Top Level Joy, I Was There, Thatās Life, S.U.R.V.I.V.E, Big Machine, Nitrogen
*Iām tender and buttons*
*and cursed with nostalgia*
*I read a book once that said itās a disorder*
I wish I was there, I wish I was there, I wish I was thereā
*No one wants to talk about the downturn*
*or the self decaying nature of everything we know*
Get me out of here, get me out of here, get me out of hereā

Good at Falling and In the End It Always Does have quickly become comfort albums for me.
The Japanese Houseās music simultaneously makes me extremely hopeful and extremely existential. The perfect amount of sad to be, in my opinion. I can dance and cry at the same time which is my ideal dance party scenario.
Amberās lyrics are incredibly intelligent and I find myself wondering how she comes up with it all. Every listen to each song is like the the first time Iāve heard it. I canāt get enough!!!
My favorite song by them is Follow My Girl, I listen to it like 5 times a day at least.

I love taking a good nature walk. Back in high school I had to wait upwards of 3 hours for my dad to come and pick me up (come late junior and senior year they told me to just take the bus home), I made it a bit of a habit of walking along the backyard of my school, it was this huge grassy space with trees and a river further back. Thinking of it now, it wasnāt very big, but man the self reflection I did there was crazy.
Now I frequent downtown a lot because of school, so I just walk around getting lost, occasionally going to the parks nearby and just sitting and thinking.

Was thinking about the past and whatnot, reminiscing on senior year. It hasnāt even been a year since I graduated, yet it feels very far away already. Itās probably because Iāve settled into thinking of college and high school is not at the forefront of my mind anymore. Itās just crazy to think that Iām barely starting my spring semester of freshman year, when I had gotten so used to being a senior. Such is life, the cycle repeats.
Picture is from senior sunrise, old tradition where the seniors go to the beach dressed in all white and watch the sun go up. Doesnāt have much use other than getting good pictures for the yearbook and Instagram lol, but was still a nice time. I think senior year was only tolerable because of my friends, I really owe it all to them. We got breakfast after and showed up an hour ish late to school, good times.

Remembering when I visited an old friend in Indiana last summer and they took me to this quarry, I was asleep on the ride there so Iāll never know where it is, it remains a mystifying memory. A moment suspended in time. Even as someone very afraid of both water and heights, being at the very top was so breathtaking (in a good way).
Apparently the Empire State Building is constructed entirely with limestone from Indiana.
