Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is Snow Tires from Unbunny. This is considered indie pop or folk rock but it’s really emo at its heart. Introspective lyrics focused on emotional turmoil and all that. “Don’t let me have the shakes” he sings.

My playlist for this album somehow got reversed so I listened in reverse order. It’s weird how that might affect a listen. But I enjoyed it overall. I do think that despite its chill sounds, I like hearing an album like this at a decent volume so that you hear the subtleties well.

It’s not full of bangers. “FM” I found a bit boring and too low key for example. But I adored several songs and the general vibe.

Favorite Track(s): Pink Lemonade, I Knock Things I Haven’t Tried, I Leave Stones Unturned

Sorry for the silence. Evolving through my emo mess. There is a new Lou Barlow EP out though, and that is a good way to break the silence. With some understated over emotional music. Obviously.

Self-proclaimed emo rock is a weird genre to me. Most of it I don’t like, though i’m quite an emo old man. And my favorite bands from the 90s are quite emo-esque in their way. Anyhow, here is a band I seem to like, or at least these two songs. This one particularly reminds me of built to spill.

For you in Pittsburgh, they are playing The Mr. Roboto Project on July 27th.
