Chorus.fm Members EOTY Lists 2017 • Page 7

weren't they a synthpop/chillwave band a few years ago?

 

like, darker Crystal Castles type shit, I fucked with it in 2012 but went back and not so much

 

Both albums are pretty perfect, imo. Love the atmosphere throughout.

 

no!

 

This is def synth pop my dude

 

I think relegating it to chillwave/synth pop completely undersells how dark and churning and brooding the majority of the music is. They aren't CHVRCHES

 

i will share mine later in the month when it is appropriate.

 

Oh yeah of course not. I meant synth-pop in the more traditional sense, darkwave and post punk and shit

 

I haven't heard all albums I want to hear, the year isn't over, rankings do not necessarily reflect quality and so on and so forth.

Icarus The Owl just dropped an album that is shaking up my list. I probably should have listened to my gut and waited a few weeks to make my list.

 

its been rapidly climbing mine as well. its so damn catchy.

 

I'll have to check it out! I really liked their debut when it came out years ago but haven't listened to them in a long time. The Extortionist is a jam.

 

They are super underrated. They’re local for me, so it’s cool to see them get some love here! The new album is a jam!
