New Cloud Nothings fukking OWNS. I am gonna lose my shyt when I see them in April.

They sound horrible live.


I have no doubt Iamiamiwhoami is going to release AOTY or close to it. The two singles shes dropped have been damn near flawless.

Vincent is coo but her last album was a bit better imo. Trst is aight...doesn't really touch their first.

listened to the new have a nice life but I really can't make a call on it yet.

Liked the Cloud Nothings at first, love it upon multiple re-listens. Would have to do to a back to back to know for sure, but I think I like it even more than their last one.

@Zeu$ careful with the high expectations based off lead singles. Everyone can strike gold a couple times, making a whole album up to par is a tough task. Which songs are you referring to by the way?

I don't think they have ever released subpar material so I think if they maintain this quality they will have a near classic synth pop album

Cloud Nothings is great.

St. Vincent, I have yet to finish, the first four tracks are brilliant, but for some reason I begin to lose interest after that. :yeshrug:

Mac Demarco is pretty decent. Actually I think it's better than 2, stronger songwriting, stronger songs all around plus that weird synth song is my jam.

this Warpaint album :wow:

i thought their first was way more...musical. This is def a more "developed" sound but the songs themselves just meander on for the most part. Love is to die is fukking awesome tho.

that new cloud nothings is pretty sick

That chick looks :huhldup:, but that fountain song is crazy. Where do you guys be finding about new rock/indie music? Is there a Coli version indie site? I always feel like I'm late to the game.

The Cloud Nothings sounds pretty good. For some reason makes me feel like I'm 18 again :leostare:.

I agree with that other poster about the new Arctic Monkeys album. I haven't paid attention to them i awhile, but that album is awesome. Vampire Weekend's album was my fav of 2013, but AM is close.

I thought it was gonna be pretty hard to top the Cloud Nothings for "heavy" album of the year, but we already got a contender. This Perfect p*ssy album is :wow:

I aint gonna make snap judgements based on one listen, but the first listen was :blessed:. Reminds me of the Iceage album last year which wasn't really my preferred genre but still I loved it. The second half of this album isn't as good as the first, but still it is nice.

I'm the same way. It's not that the rest of the tracks are bad, it's just that it loses steam.

Related to St. Vincent, I need new Swans, May 13th needs to hurry up
