Bartees Strange - Live Forever (October 2nd 2020) Album • Page 8

Saw a ton of you on Twitter discussing this, so I gave it a go. It fucks.

 

stone meadows so good

 

Need to listen to this more but I do know that I audibly gasped the first time I heard the chorus on the Lemonworld cover. Anyone know the back story behind the National covers?

 

Bartees Strange Is 2020’s Breakout Indie Star

 

The Bandcamp description is an enlightening read.

 

This album is totally wild. Unlike anything I've heard recently and all over the place in a really great way. After my first few listens I've found it "awkward" to find a time to listen to it ... it doesn't fit into the type of music I listen to while working on my computer, woodworking in my garage, or even just listening to while I cook dinner or whatever. I've mostly been listening in the car but I don't get in my car that often haha. So aside from having to grow up and figure that out, it's been really impressive on first handful of listens.

 

I actually listen to this often while cooking dinner lol

 

haha its been my cooking album since last friday pretty much every night

 

This has been on repeat for days it's like Foxing meets Frank Ocean with like a lil country twang even. It's so good and I like the length

 

Foxing and Frank Ocean is the comparison I used when telling my friend to listen. Bon Iver as well.

 

I gotta say Jealousy doesn't do much for me. I've had the urge to skip it and just get right into Mustang

 

Yeah I am not huge on jealousy tbh

 

Definitely the weakest thing on here

 

I dig it a ton tbh

 

Some Kings of Leon vocals

 

wait what

 

100%. I said that earlier in here

 

i hear bloc party way more

 

Same through most of it, but I hear old KOL on Mustang

 

I heard KOL as well but definitely hear the argument for Bloc Party

 

He sold out that /500 variant as well, absolutely doing bits.

 

I listened to him on the Going Off Track podcast and he mentioned hearing Bloc Party on FIFA for the first time. SAME!

 

I've been introduced to so many artists because of FIFA and sports games. My friend was introduced to Protest the Hero through NHL...what?!

 

I was introduced to AFI from Tony hawk 3 lol

 

Vinyl update: there's a 4th press available for pre-order now, shipping in December!
