Definitely agreed with the Parannoul and Appleseed Cast recs. Here are some others from my year-end list I posted a few pages back. I love this sound but I don't think there were too many records that touched on it this year. Gates - Here and Now Lightning Bug - A Color of the Sky Arrange - The World is Racing Seismograph - VAST the other Parannoul abums from this year dim - from dark to light we'll see not from this year but I was obsessed with it... Holding Patterns - Endless
Time lost - gushing interest Milly - wish goes on Thank you thank you - next to nothing Nanl - autumn dyes Burial waves - holy ground Nonfiction - I painted this one blue Saint 44 - blood on my guitar
There are two others! Downfall of the Neon Youth, which is similar to To See the Next Part of the Dream, and then the other one Let's Walk on the Path of a Blue Cat which has a math rocky vibe that strongly reminds me of Toe, Enemies, or LITE.
DOTNY is technically a split with Asian glow and sonhos who are both also worth checking out, and LWTPOABC is from 2019(?) I think
Scared of Bears - The Art of Taxidermy RIYL: Huge The Front Bottoms S/T & Talon of the Hawk vibes. If you're looking to fill that hole, this is the one for that. I dare you to listen to songs Had to Stay or Dead Man and tell me I'm wrong
This isn’t new or anything, but I was just realizing how much I return to this album. I always loved Prawn and even though this isn’t technically a Prawn album, I consider it my favorite Prawn album.
