    This is a week full of great albums, and it breaks my heart a little bit to not be writing about the new Snail Mail, or the new Yob, or the new serpentwithfeet. Those are all great, great records. I love them all. But only one of this week’s albums feels like it alters my entire brain chemistry every time the next chorus hits, and that’s Constant Image.


    damn

    ridiculous that this is a debut. it feels so THEM. tbh this is one of the most singularly arresting albums i've heard in some time and to me, it seems like a record almost anybody could get down with. it's post-punk, but not overly abrasive; melodic, but unconventional in its melodic structure; emotional, but far from cloying; urgent, but not aggressive; a fifth example.

    can't think of anybody else who's straddling as many lines as this band is, hell of a way to kick things off. seeing them soon and cannot wait

    closer of the year too btw. “What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?”

    the way the sax mirrors the double snare hit on the 4 makes me feel a lot

    tell it like a comeback story Prestigious

    I heard "Sun Come and Golden" over the summer and liked it but I just got around to listening to the whole album and I've been missing out. Feel like this record is getting slept on.

    Stereogum couldn’t ride them any harder but otherwise yeah relatively unnoticed
