Man, I DIG this Seaway record. Sounds like the vibes NFG went for on their latest but they pull it off much better.
I don't get the hate for the Mayday Parade song (I presume you're talking about "Lighten Up Kid", but there are three songs on the single, so maybe you're referring to them all). Is it pretty standard fare Mayday Parade? Absolutely. But it's not awful by any means. It just kind of more of the same. It's just kind of there. I'm fine with it being on an album, but I'm going to get bored with an entire album that sounds like that. New Grayscale is shit though completely agreed. Sounds like just a one-off whatever though, so I won't read too much into it.
Glad to hear it. Always nice to have a handy quick link to cut right to the music. I know when others post / embed the Spotify link/player I’m more inclined to check it out when it’s a tap away. I’m making these fuller versions of my Release Radar for myself anyway, so might as well share the goodness.
New Seaway album is fun. Also, can’t believe I slept on Transit Joyride for this long. It’s all I’ve been listening to this week and it’s absolutely the best!
Not a single mention of Mr. Gnome. I have been hyped for this album since their last release in 2014. Check it out. It's fantastic. Going to be one of my favorites this year.
