Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is I’ve never been in love before baby, pretend I’m sick from Zebu Fur, aka Frankie Cosmos. Frankie Cosmos is great! So this should be good. Frankie Cosmos is basically bedroom recordings of Slacker Rock or Indie Folk.

Like most Frankie Cosmos records this is very stripped down. Short songs with good melodies and emotive lyrics. Not polished at all but raw. Still the recording quality is okay mostly with occasional blips.

I’n not sure what makes this raw lo-fi music work for me but I suppose it’s a combination of the rawness and the melodies that sneak into their songs.

Rating: 9.0

Favorite Track(s): “The Infinity Days”, “fingernails”, “Walking tune 18”, “you used to be cool”, “I’ve never been in love before baby, pretend I’m sick”. Like a hardcore record, no time to do much but write down a list…

Keep or Trash: Keep.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album is Loveseat from Quarterbacks. This is Twee Pop, Cuddlecore, or Slacker Rock. And that all works for me.

This is the second album from Quarterbacks to make the album of the day. The first was a keeper so unsurprisingly this will also be a keeper. I like their Twee thing that they have going here.

My playlist for this is out of order. Oops. At least the songs have the correct titles. That’s progress.

Songs are all super short. But melodic and fun.

Rating: 9.1

Favorite Track(s): “Lauren” is lovely Twee. “Schmictionary” is good. “Last Boy” sounds good but the lyrics are either super creepy or sweet. Hard to say without digging deeper. I think it’s intended to be sweet after reading lyrics haha. “Simple Songs” is fun. “Don’t Wanna” is adorable. This was out of order but I enjoyed the whole album with its short twee love stuff.

Keep or Trash: Keep.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is 010 from Ulysses. Ulysses is considered slacker rock or indie pop. It’s a side project of Apples in Stereo singer and keyboardist. They just have this one album I think. I’m not totally sure but I actually like this better than Apples in Stereo which is interesting.

So yeah I do like this. It’s plain indie rock to me. Pretty simple and enjoyable. Also good to sing along to.

Rating: 9.3

Favorite Track(s): “Television” just works for me with both its lyrics and melody. “Burning You” has good sing along ability. “Castles in Spain” also makes me want to belt it out. “Evening Star” is another good catchy tune.

Keep or Trash: Keep.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album is The Truman Sho from Flashlight O. Flashlight O is Colin Alexander – an artist From Baltimore. And this album is basically indie folk meets slacker rock with some experimental-ness.

I had no idea I had this album. I must have found it in one of my scans of Bandcamp. But I really like it. The buried vocals are aesthetically perfect – though some songs would stand out more if the vocals did, We’ve got catchy little indie folk tunes with a random slacker rock song here and there. Instrumentally I really like how things are mixed. The percussions is great.

Overall I really enjoyed this. A nice little find that I already found at some point but then proceeded to forget about. I like that there is basically endless good music out there in the world. Keep it coming world…

Rating: 8.7

Favorite Track(s): Wooden Flooring or Thanksgiving.

Keep or Trash: Keep. I quite liked this.
