Review: Tangled Hair- We Do What We Can

First Album Review Post!

I wasn't quite ready to write a fuller review on an album, but I stumbled upon a gem I wanted to share.

Tangled Hair- We Do What We Can

I just found this band recently, and I'm thoroughly hooked and impressed. Tangled Hair is an English indie/math rock band. For fans of Delta Sleep, Tangled Hair brings a bunch of material to the table in just one album. We Do What We Can has quite the expansive range of styles all packed into one. Expect lots of tempo changes as songs like Catalina go from a faint singing, to an all out band jam. It's a great album to hang out and listen to, and kept me intrigued as to what the next part of each song would sound like. My favorite tracks would have to be Yeah, It Does Look Like A Spider and Nao Is My Driver.

I don't think I will include a rating system into my reviews, as I'm not sure how well I could review things that I don't like. If I'm to review something, it's because I at least enjoyed it to some degree or found it interesting. I have an idea for a post topic for songs that I dislike, or just find odd. I have handfuls of weird music that could fall into that category so we shall see.

Thanks for checking out this short inaugural review post!

February Roundup Vol. 2

Shame, shame, shame! I've been quite lazy on the blog front of things lately but I will always try to post my monthly playlists since I'm always looking for new music. FB posts are still at least a few times a week so there's that. Nevertheless, February had a lot of nice music for me, and it'd be a crime to not share some of em. Worst Party Ever- False Teeth This is that perfect sing along type of emo. I've definitely glanced over Worst Party Ever before and I'm glad I finally listened to them. False Teeth is really great but Road Trip is like, wow factor for me. It's vocally reminiscent of another band that I cannot remember but its right there, agh. Regardless WPE will be a frequent listen for me going forward. For The Win- Crash and Burn For The Win is not super unique per se, as you can draw a lot of influences but that's not to say the music is bad. Crash and Burn is a nice feelsy and vocally wholesome song but I cannot help but internally laugh...

January Roundup Vol. 2

Here we are again. Another year, another month, another roundup. I've got high hopes for music in 2021 and hopefully we will see some return of live music and being able to see artists we like live in person. Anyways let's get into Volume 2 of my monthly playlists! Vilano- Greetings! Vilano is really cool and a new listen for me. They bring back that mid 2000's pop punk sound that's so addicting to me. Greetings starts off in a similar way to Veara's My B-Side Life then branches off into its own thing. There's some really good drumming in both songs as well which also made me correlate the two. Another song I've been digging is Who We Are (feat. Fronzilla). It's a completely different sound but it's pretty much just a Myka Relocate song with Fronz, which in all honestly is really good. Juneva- If You're Jezebel, Then I'm Bill Murray If you've read through enough of my posts, you know how I feel about post-hardcore. Juneva only had 2 EPs...

Swancore Inspired Bops

Ah yes, Swancore. I've touched upon it briefly in some of my previous entries but today's post is on a playlist I've had for several weeks now. S.I.B Playlist Swancore is a self coined genre by musician Will Swan. Widely known for his work in Dance Gavin Dance over the years, he began his record label Blue Swan Records in 2013. Since then, there has been a plethora of bands that have put out really solid material in my opinion. Now, I could easily just copy/paste a bunch of artists that are or were under the Label, but that's too simplistic. This playlist is a mixture of some Swancore bands, as well as other bands that sound similar or take influence from Dance Gavin Dance in general. It's a weird sort of limbo in my head if I overthink it, but I see it like this: Essentially there are artists that sound like either DGD or bands on the Swan Records Label, but are neither. Now, like all of my playlists, this is still a work in progress. Some get added to infrequent...
