Backwards Dancer - Backwards Dancer (March 3, 2017) Album • Page 4

This might be my current favorite record of the year.

 

I haven't listened to this since my initial few listens cause it didn't really stick with me and I forgot, but as usual I love reading how radically different your opinion is haha

 

i still really like it. bummed it didn't click with many others.

 

Haha yeah. I don't know. I wasn't too into this when it came out. But I gave it another chance about a week ago and it grew on me really fast from there. I'm glad someone enjoys my non-sense on here.

 

Yea it's a solid release that may have suffered from lack of diversity

 

I recall having yr initial opinion that the first few songs were great so I might need to give this another listen in the coming days

haha you can always be counted on to have an interesting opinion imo

I think this is basically my criticism. Lack of diversity. Sticks very closely to a comfort zone, from what I recall

 

Just discovered these, absolutely fantastic. Gonna spend a while listening to these I suspect.

 

I went back to it a few days ago, I still don't know why it wasn't better received

 

ya its still in my top records of the year list

 

I liked it but I personally feel like it's long bc it didn't feel like it was terribly varied

 

This is currently my favorite release of the year. Haha

 

What else have you been into this year? I keep thinking a lot of stuff came out in 2016 haha

 

David Bazan's "Care" is great. I'm really into the Dreamcar record. Aaron Sprinkle's "Real Life" is a great pop record if you're into that. Then Big Thief and Lo Tom both released really great indie albums recently. Honestly, really just into 2017 for music.

 

Fuck I can't believe I thought Care came out last year. I still haven't checked out Big Thief and Lo Tom though, that's promising. Thanks for the reminders

 

you should drop everything and listen to capacity by big thief now. incredible album.

 

Having flashbacks to last year when you said the same about masterpiece haha. Will do

 

Seconding the recommendation for Capacity. It got under my skin in a way no other album has this year.

Also, knowing your tastes (which seem very similar to mine), you'll love Lo Tom. It rocks.

 

Finally getting around to listening to this. Great stuff. I'm enjoying this more than the stuff that the bands that they're emulating are releasing this year.


Bemis sounds like he's doing background vocals on a couple of these tracks?

 

Yeah I know he does for sure on I Saw Your Spirit

 

damn this thread has not been bumped in a minute lol. looks like zack is putting out a solo record in january

 

new Zack shaw solo track on this comp for the bernie sanders campaign

 

just found out Zack put out four albums this year (???)

 

(???) indeed, what the fuck

 

Listening to Until We Rebuild right now. This kind of sounds like a noisier Digital Ash-era Bright Eyes. It's really cool.

 

forgot how much i missed this guy's voice.
