Asked whether artist revenue shares, user experience, or the editorial platform Bandcamp Daily will be affected by the acquisition, Songtradr declined to comment.

Maybe I'm being too cynical but this doesn't sound great

Singer-songwriter Sufjan is my favorite Sufjan

I really like Space Invader. I'm excited to hear the rest of it this morning

Edit: Very good album. Space Invader and Smoke Detector are my initial favorites

I just saw her live this weekend! She was awesome. I love how glamorous and dramatic her performance was

bar italia sneaking in at number 40! I didn't realize they had a new song out. I highly recommend their album Tracey Denim released earlier this year.

This song is wild. Haven't seen the video yet. Probably my favorite song from them though

In my opinion one of the best TV show themes is for House

Teardrop - Massive Attack

I'm confused by this band name lol. I was wondering if there was a typo. Nope it's Slaughter Beach, Dog

They have a song exploder episode on the song Cattails. Also Adrianne Lenker's solo stuff is worth giving a listen

I haven't listened yet but I was just reading that this is a soundtrack album for a documentary called Anonymous Club.

I think it's all instrumental. I'll check it out later. I'm pretty intrigued.

Edit: It's a nice and pretty sounding album. Very relaxing

It feels like a big day with both Animal Collective and Wilco releasing new albums!

By the way I saw you made threads for those two. I was up earlier today and made thread for those ones already.

This is awesome. Love her voice and the energy. I'll keep an eye out for an album

Awesome choice! I wasn't expecting a 2 month old album to make it to album club! But this one deserves the attention. I've given it a few listens since it came out but let me get one more listen in before I give any deeper thoughts.

Haha I totally understand that this song could be hated but I love it. Maybe I benefitted from never hearing it on the radio and "discovering" it on my own

Love the band name and the music is pretty rad. But is there something controversial with this band? I'm curious why this post has a handful of downvotes

One of the previous threads was similar to this and I mentioned Green Day and Everclear but another thing just popped into my mind thinking about music videos on MTV.

They still played some music videos in 2005 and I distinctly remember seeing and hearing this one for the first time and being completely mesmerized. I was 13 at the time.

Gorillaz - Dare

Anyway you could summarize this for those of us who don't know how to get around a nytimes paywall?

Excellent choice ren! Sometime I wish I could have experienced the 80s

P.S. You may notice I'm posting from a different account. I had a bit of a snafu with my previous account. This will be my main account moving forward if you don't mind swapping this one for the other kvn for mod privileges. I commented in an older pinned post yesterday but I'm guessing you didn't see so now I'm bugging you here lol

I'm not gonna lie. The first thing I'm listening to today is Olivia Rodrigo. Yes she's pop but if you listen to her stuff you can hear influences from 90s and 00s alternative and indie.

Eh it's good but I'm not gonna make a separate thread about it. I didn't find it to be as impressive as her debut album. Probably because her debut was an unexpected surprise for a pop record from a 17 year old. With this one I already knew what she was capable of and I feel like she didn't push any "pop boundaries" that she didn't already push with her debut.

I know it's unlikely but I'm kinda hoping for a Scott Walker like career from her lol

I love the guitars from this group and I appreciate their unique sound but I just can't get into them. I thought maybe I just didn't like her vocals but then I heard her featured on this Sleaford Mods song.

Force 10 From Navarone - Sleaford Mods feat Florence Shaw

I love her voice and deadpan delivery on this song. I think it works really well with the drum machine and DIY dirty synth sound.

So maybe it's just the specific combination that Dry Cleaning put together that doesn't work for me.

Good song! They have more of a lo fi sound which I'm not usually into. But I really like this and the album they put out this year.

So I dont have any sort of relationship or connection with R.E.M. I know the popular songs and I know I've listened to at least this album in full before but I probably didn't give it proper attention.

So I listened to it and tried to give it my full attention. I wouldn't say I've been converted to an R.E.M. fan but there are definitely things to like here. Two songs stood out to me the most so I'll highlight a few things I liked from those songs.

My favorite track is the opener of this album, Drive. It's just really great. I really like the darker sound and the non pop song structure. Obviously the Decemberists came after this but it kinda reminded me of them with the accordion. And then when the strings kick in halfway through it just has this epic sound.

The other song that stood out to me was Ignoreland. A bit more upbeat but there's still a hint of darkness in there especially with the politically natured lyrics. The double-time vocal buildup before the chorus into the belted "Ignooooreland!" is my favorite moment.

Those are my thoughts. If you want to convert to a full blown R.E.M. fan let me know what to check out that's similar to Drive.

This is less interesting to me than her previous album Glitch Princess. This sits more firmly under the alternative rock unbrella unlike Glitch Princess which was experimental glitchy pop.

So maybe check this out if you DIDN'T like her previous album haha

Wow this is some hauntingly beautiful music. I highly recommend for any ambient music fans

Love this band. Especially their first 3 albums. But their most recent album (where this song is from) was really good too

Sounds interesting! I will definitely check this out this week

I'm lucky enough to do most of my music listening while working. Hooray for work from home desk jobs!

Hey ren@lemmy.world are we doing an album club post this week? You do a lot for this community so I wouldn't mind taking this over moving forward if you'd like. I'd hate to see it die already

This whole album is really cool. Vocals remind me a bit of IDLES

Oh I didn't hear about that. Hopefully he's okay

Don't apologize! I'd like to help out and keep this community going so I'm happy to do this. But I think I'll hold off until Tuesday to post. So basically just skip this week and start it up again next week. Did you have any albums in mind for the next one? If not I'll pick something that is "essential alternative"

Sounds great!

This is new to me too. Very nice sound though

This is very cool! Thanks for sharing

Hey ren@lemmy.world are we doing this again this week? Do you need album suggestions?

That's reasonable

I know a lot of people find this song annoying but I like it. Glad you like it too!

This was my thought too. To me they're just fine. Nothing has clicked for me. I don't ever have to desire to listen to them.

I definitely think it could've been longer. Not by adding more songs or more verses. But by having some longer instrumental sections, intros, and outros. Stuff that lets the song breathe for a bit. Some of the songs just felt a little cut short.
