Hop Along - Bark Your Head Off, Dog (April 6, 2018) Album • Page 34

I only compare the two because music writers, even as they praise Mitski for fighting against the confessional woman stereotype, still have biases towards that type of songwriter. This Hop Along record talks about similar themes as the Soccer Mommy record but Hop Along is more obscure lyrically and Frances isn't a solo act so Hop Along will never get the praise that these other artists get for being so personal.

I'm mad at music writers. I have nothing against musicians unless they're shitty people.

 

criticism aside, those 3 records are all fantastic and all in my top 10

 

this is a great listen but it never fully clicked enough to warrant a top 10 spot for whatever reason

I became obsessed with the soccer mommy album and it’s probably a top 5 album for me

not here to argue the politics of music journalism and these end of the year lists but I don’t think it’s unfathomable that one record would get more love than the other

 

Got noticed on a list!

The Alternative's Top 50 Albums of 2018 - The Alternative

 

they were also one of the few non perennial picks on the Pitchfork rock list

 

Yo.. holy SHIT

 

fuck

 

Not available in my country :( but I’m sure these videos are great!

Watch Hop Along Play Three Songs on 'CBS This Morning'

 

Her vocal improvisations are bonkers to watch live. It’s like watching an acrobat just repeatedly thrust themselves into the air without a plan and consistently landing on their feet

 

God that was so good. I can’t wait to see them live again

 

Incredible musicians

 

Saturday Sessions: Hop Along performs "Prior Things" - CBS News

Saturday Sessions: Hop Along performs "How Simple" - CBS News

Saturday Sessions: Hop Along performs “Somewhere A Judge”

I don't know what country you're in but I'm in England and can usually never watch things like this either but these links they just posted on Instagram worked for me. Sounds great!

 

I’m in Australia. These links worked, thank you for sharing!

 

Every single song on this album has an ear worm that is too damn infectious to be allowed.

 

GOD IS THE ONE GOD IS THE ONE GOD IS THE ONE THAT CHANGED

 

Dublin show June 16th at the Button Factory, as someone who's never properly gotten into this lot would their live show convince me?

 

Absolutely yes. Is Sidney Gish at your show too? Cause she’s incredible.

 

No she isn't :c

I'll let you know who is, tho!

 

holy shit, Frances came in to talk with students at my old high school the other day. Makes me want to reach out for her to do the same at my school!

 

Never in a million years did I think Hop Along would come anywhere near me :') I am probably going to cry..... I am definitely going to cry.

 

Are they in the studio rn? It looks that way on the gram.

 

Not sure if this is Hop Along related but

 

please be hop along related

 

Would also be very here for a solo record from Frances

 

Anything with Frances
