Young Jesus - Welcome To Conceptual Beach (August 14, 2020; Saddle Creek) Album • Page 2

it's more mellow on the whole than the last one I would say

I don't remember every part of the last two long songs rn but I don't remember it getting as intense as, say "Feeling." but it's a lot to take in and I'm on 1.5 listens so I might be wrong. "Meditations"builds to an (incredible) shouty moment but it doesn't rock per se

 

I feel like they rarely do that for smaller bands now, I was shocked when Knot got one the other day but I really don't expect it anymore. That's why we have Stereogum

 

Dead serious the only band I can think of off the top of my head that I would take over them as Best Indie Rock Band is Big Thief.


There are obviously staple veteran acts....but when we are talking about early-mid prime and/or up and coming who else is there? Maybe it’s the whiskey talking! Maybe it’s just the potential of those 2 bands that specifically excites me. Feels like we are still just scrapping the surface. Glad I grabbed the purple/white variant!

 

Objectively speaking the top indie rock acts going are Los campesinos , Strange Ranger, Young Jesus and Big Thief

 

I would really like to see what Club Night does in their next LP as well (but I like your list a lot).

 

Just wanna say I love the vocals on Root and Crown

 

Parts of it kind of remind me of Okkervil River.

 

Never heard this band before but this first single has a serious Dry The River vibe.

 

this new song fucking rules

 

Here's said new song, and it does indeed fucking rule.

 

Great tune

 

FFS this band kills me

 

yeahh this is going to be pretty great.

 

These two new songs are up there with their best. I have a good feeling about this one

 

Phenomenal band

 

I didn’t realize it but this is exactly what I want from them

 

yes exactly my thoughts! it's not what I would have asked for but thinking back it makes perfect sense considering how beautiful songs like "Under" were (not that this album is really acoustic-centered but you know what I mean). things here are less knotty than Whole Thing and more meditative, thoughtful (yes, they can get more thoughtful), flowing. it really pays off

 

this is gonna be perfect isn't it?

 

Didn't realize there was a thread for them on here. I'm in love with "The Whole Thing....".. Gulf is one of the coolest songs I've ever heard. Excited for this.

 

it is

 

never really listened to these guys but these songs are so good holy shit

 

I would listen to S/T and The Whole Thing is Just There as well.
