“I can sleep, soon.”
Now, Now - “But I Do” off Threads (2012).
this album quickly became one of my favourites from ‘12
shadows of my doubt
from thinking way too loud
you said “we’re golden” but
I’m feeling rusted and seized shut
The Ambulars - We’re Golden off Dreamers Asleep at the Wheel (2012).
can’t get enough of this album. for fans of The Ackleys, Superchunk, Swearin’, etc.
Afraid Of Heights- Wavves
I think I’m dying, maybe I’m thirsty. I think I must be drunk. Woke up and found Jesus. I’ll always be on my own, fucked and alone.
So, I don’t usually like Wavves but the new album is actually super super good. The cleaner production and songwriting serves it well - and it’s mega catchy.
Advancing age has a way of stripping the romance from adolescent dreams, and Chronicles is bracingly clear-eyed and unafraid, staring down what happens when the thing you’ve spent your life doing no longer feels like the thing you can spend the rest of your life doing.

J. Edward Keyes reviews Marnie Stern’s The Chronicles of Marnia (via frontofbook)
THIS ALBUM RIGHT HERE shreds. Listen to it, I beg of you.
“So use simple expressions to explain what you can / ‘cause you’ll never be able to see past your hand.”
Good Luck - “Contact” off Without Hesitation (2011).
I’ve probably posted this song a million times but it’s incredible. the places it gets to.
And I’m lying when I tell you I’m fine / I’m really kind of low.
The Magnolias - When I’m Not off Off The Hook (1992).

The Ackleys - “Blank Mind Between the Traffic Lights” off Forget Forget Derive Derive (2006).

“I had a dream last night that we had hit separate bottoms.”
Hello Hawk - Superchunk
Grab us by the neck / I volunteer as prey
We could leaf the world in gold / If this muddy road
Would only wash away
Never been the hugest fan of Come Pick Me Up and Here’s To Shutting Up era Superchunk - but this song… yeah. It’s amazing.
