oh neat. love dustin's voice.

 

Does this sound anything like the Felix culpa?

 

nah not really. more braid/american football styled. at least from those videos.

 

Ohhhh wow that’s the only thing I could’ve wanted more

 

okay so definitely not braid or american football. pretty similar to from indian lakes imo. very chill, pretty indie stuff. still into it

 

mostly the guitar was reminding me of it, with some of his riffs. the vocals are pretty unique/different.

 

he wasnt the vocalist in the felix culpa right? if so, he sounds totally different here lol

 

nah he was the second guitarist/keys guy

vocalist for cut teeth if you knew them

 

Ohhhhh shit

 

Been listening to this in fits and starts this morning and damn it's excellent.

 

"No Icon" is immediately one of my favorite songs of the year:

All of your heroes are assholes now
They’re deadbeats and sellouts anyhow
Let go the tether, stake your claim
Go brave the weather and make your name

Is it so hard to do no harm?
Is it so hard?
I don’t know

Today’s flames and darlings and deathless stars
Outed tomorrow for their fouls in the dark
It’s just paper crowns on golden calves
We don’t deign to take a dirty hand
No one needs an icon to justly be
Level-headed hearts and hands kept clean

It’s no time for icons
No time now

 

This is good
