The Best Albums of 2021 (So Far) • Page 3

Same

 

I was the same way until I gave the new one a chance! I feel like it has some of the Nikki Nack vibes while also reigning in some of the off the wall, drawn out vibes that can make it thought to listen to. They distilled the best of what they do into and filtered out what doesn’t work into some great songs!

 

Here's a playlist with a couple songs from each of the albums on my list. @ncarrab

 

Great lists all around! Surprised that no one mentioned Glaswing though, that one has been in constant rotation for me since songs steadily started coming out.

 

Followed Craig’s lead and made a little playlist with two songs per album on my list

and a playlist of my favourite songs that I update regularly is here:

 

It’s wild how much love the new Gami record is getting.

I was really into their EPs and the last record but I guess I’ve slept on the new record.

 

Just noticed For Those I Love! Their album was fantastic. I knew nothing going into it but it really did left a big mark on me, time to revisit it while reading the lyrics!
