Oso Oso - Basking in the Glow (August 16, 2019) Album • Page 14

After around 4-5 listens I'm still struggling to get into this album as a whole. There are many moments that stick out (intro, the outro to dig, charlie) but the overall sound and aesthetic isn't appealing to me.

but boy am I so absolutely chuffed that jade is getting all of this attention and success right now. yunahun mixtape was incredible, and while I'm not personally the biggest fan of this (for now), I'm so so happy

 

Brian Fallon having good things to say about an Ian Cohen review shows some real grace on his part.

 

This is at least top 5 of the year for me, I love it. I can’t see it topping the National, but number two is very possible.

 

This is just another incredible album to add to the list of albums I can’t fathom choosing between for AOTY.

 

I've played almost literally only this record since it's come out, multiple times a day. I love it and I'm excited to see these songs live and I can't wait for them to melt my face with the outro to dig. I still think yunahon is my fave though

 

Moreso than other groups, I see people use Oso Oso/Jade interchangeably. Did he write/record everything himself? Are touring members official members?

 

In such a great tweet for Jade, it is easy to forgot how cool it is to see Brian read, namedrop, and give free publicity to someone who absolutely trashed Get Hurt and definitely affected the morale of the band. Years later good to see a tweet like this, especially for a great cause of supporting this new album!

 

He writes everything himself and I’m fairly certain he records it himself too but I could be wrong.

 

this is my only aoty contender at the moment

 

Better Oblivion Community Center
The Japanese House
Nilüfer Yanya
The Maine
Clairo
This

I feel like I’m forgetting something but this is what I can remember off the top of my head.

 

It's between this and Somos for me at present but we're obviously still waiting on some big ones (Jimmy Eat World and The Early November, specifically)

 

Narco Debut
The Dangerous Summer
This?
PUP
Banks

in some order

 

BOCC, Clairo, Pup, and Charly Bliss are all up there

 

Local Natives
Narco Debut
The Dangerous Summer
Periphery

and I've mostly just been listening to a ton of Opeth for the last couple months. This will be up there though.

 

Music has been good to us this year y’all

 

Oso Oso
The Early November
Somos
The National
Sleater-Kinney
Jay Som
Pedro the Lion

all top contenders and i'm definitely missing a bunch

 

hell yeah 63/100 year-so-far lists!!

 

Makes me excited you have the early November in there, I’m worried about that one a bit. I love I dissolve but the other one is probably the first song of theirs I don’t love in a very long time.

 

as far as I'm concerned this is the only album of 2019 I will not be reading the replies

 

C
U
P
S

 

I haven’t really listened to anything more than a handful of times this year so not much has stuck with me at all

 

2 of these I want to hear really badly and am mad you get to before me >:(

 

This is really cool!

 

he writes himself but the drummer has been on the recordings since Yunahon at least, I assume it was just Jade on Real Stories and the EP but only because I've never actually seen album credits for it anywhere

 

I really really really love this album
