been anticipating this for awhile, and it’s one of the best songs of the year. RIYL: Rainer Maria, Jejune, First Day Back, the good emo music
departures and landfills by boys life just landed in my rotation and it is good stuff. very good at utilizing its open space
Catching up in here. I'll keep editing this post as I listen. Those proun songs rock, reminds me of a more emo Hovvdy. Blimp song is good. Don't love the vocals. Opener on the Captain Jazz (Cashy Jazz whatever) record is great. Like an acoustic 80s hair metal ballad for midwest emo.
¡!¡!¡!¡! ABSOLUTELY BESIDE MYSELF RIGHT NOW Math-rock/emo legends from Leeds who released two amazing records and broke up are back together with shows next year.
So I listened to this album called MORTIS: PALINGENESIS by an artist called Brayton and I don't know a lot of people in my day to day life who would get this but I figured this site would. It sounds like a band ripped from the peak millennial Warper Tour years and Myspace scene. The instrumentals and lyrics are incredibly nostalgic. But it also made me cringe really hard at some of the generic, whiny, woe is me lyrics that were so prevalent from that era. I think we're all guilty of listening to bands like that from back then but it was so wild to me listening to it in 2026. Some of the lyrics were "I wish I could of died so you'd remember me as love of your life", "feel my grip is slipping, every day, every fucking day" and "you can find a thousand ways to leave me". The music isn't bad in a lot of the songs but it's all incredibly unoriginal. There's one song that has a really fun sing-along style chorus but I'm struggling to put it on a playlist because this just feels like such a toxic album from someone who needs therapy. I've totally been one to listen to something like this in my teenage years and be filled with angst and sadness but there's this element of hearing this in my mid thirties where it seems egregious for me to be supportive of this kind of stuff. I don't know, I get everyone can express themselves and their art in any way they want but it just felt like a time of music that has passed and maybe a sign that some people could take the opportunity to explore their sadness and trauma in less toxic ways. Interested to see what you all think if anyone has heard the album.
Okay, so I don't know if they qualify as emo because I just don't even know what the genre means at this point, but can someone please listen to this song because there's just an absolutely wild moment in it in my eyes.
That I love you like pizza song reminded me of listening to chalk talks food chain when I was like 18 good shit
