Somewhere City: A Blissful Emo Masterpiece

[@noah1087]

this is my number 1 album of all time. there's nothing like it

[@Roni-qw4zo]

Try listening to the first glass beach album, it's the only album i found similar to this

[@philautiagd]

the duology

[@slm5473]

It really is man it’s like positive emo with some of the coolest guitar riffs I’ve ever heard

[@Leo-xl4uq]

SAME

[@Pizzalover-cf1hg]

same dudeski me too. Somewhere City is number 1 and GAMI GANG is a close second

[@tucker0624]

The Air Up Here made me truly cry the first time I listened to it. I love this band, I love this album.

[@geraldbenson4114]

I'm late to the party, but same. That track broke me in the best way, and this whole album is amazing

[@kevinperri93]

Glad to see you branching out and giving Origami Angel a boost. Gami Gang is one of my favorite albums of the year so far

[@natekyngcole]

gami gang is SOOOO good but it’s a tad long

[@alexr4067]

Holy shit balls gaming gang came out 3 years ago???? °_____° time flies

[@baconofwar6619]

YES I'm glad someone is finally talking about this album

[@baconofwar6619]

@@AspynDotZip You should definitely check out the album! It's one of mine and a few of my friend's favorite album for sure

[@Revealingstorm.]

This album came out of nowhere for me. Never realized something this good was sitting just waiting for me to find. Took a while, but I'm glad it comes into my life

[@Tranch]

I'm glad other people love this album as much as I do!!!

[@leahim6647]

I love how you're branching out to more subjects other than rhythm game related videos

[@rowan4301]

These two are from my hometown, and after moving overseas for college, this album means so much to me, especially 24 Hr Drive-Thru. Whenever I'm feeling homesick and depressed, that song is my personal cure. (Fun fact: "Kenilworth Avenue to 193" is actually the route to the local McDonald's!) It always makes me happy to think that so many other people love this band from my random DC suburb.

[@somethingsomething9006]

This album is nothing short of perfect. I am SO here for music reviews, you got awesome taste! A album/music recommendation video would be really neat.

[@User-d6l6t]

The song “The Tittle Track” got recommended to me while listening to Glass Beach

[@TheDumbTwin]

I think that's how half of gami's audience found them (or at least me)

[@Shaunss]

Not even kidding, I just recently discovered Origami Angel

[@demiurge2501]

Same, my friend told me about them

[@hotgayfurryfeet]

same

[@aaron-sl5hd]

i have been listening to them since right after holy split came out. finding out that origami angel is gaining the recognition from people that are not a part or familiar with the emo music scene makes me smile

[@beepduck]

why would you be kidding about that

[@Lenticular90]

@@beepduck Go outside

[@frozenandchosen]

I’ve just recently come back to this album after a few years, loved it when it first came out and for a while after that I adore how connected this album feels and is positive and introspective at the same time It’s just such a feel/good album while still being able to deal with heavy subject matter

[@frozenandchosen]

Gives me so much nostalgia for that few months right before COVID hit and fucked up the world

[@User-d6l6t]

I think the name of the song “Skeleton Key” is also a reference to Doom as the band also has made many video game references before

[@jamescbrown8149]

Great video, I only discovered Gami this year at 2000 Trees festival when they were doing a UK tour. I went to see them having heard the great reviews from their shows with Prince Daddy and was absolutely blown away. First thing I did when I left the festival and got some signal on my drive home was was play Somewhere City.

[@gdjosef]

Absolutely fuckin love Origami Angel, and your Somewhere City desktop, I was waiting for this video.

[@Quirkay]

I heard the title track on osu!, and have been addicted to the record ever since. Great video man, banger as always.

[@hippoheadstudios4097]

This album is like a late night drive back home as a kid while it’s raining in the back seat

[@Beaudacious1900]

I remember listening to this album on loop on Spotify, and the way the album loops makes it sound continuous, so I was so confused because I was under the impression the album was 2 hours long 😂😂

[@alex1Sded]

Bro my inner midwest emo heart enjoyed this so much

[@foxcannon]

I just barely discovered this album when Spotify recommended I add Welcome To... to my playlist. Holy shit, am I so glad I gave it a listen.

[@DangitBobby2112]

Dude thank you for introducing me to this band. Listening to their music really brought me out of a bit of a slumped. Great content as usual and I love that you're branching out to non-rhythym game content.

[@ceruleanchloe]

Probably my favorite album of all time. Zero skips.

[@Somewhere_Bagel]

Im so thankful that you made this video, and not only that but for always talking about the emo bands you listen during those streams way back when. if not for that I would have never discovered this band. This band has genuinely saved my life in my darkest days and continues to do so. i love rewatching this video and will continue to comment my appreciation despite it being a retired channel (i watch ur runner boi channel dw)

[@rinnythe16th]

First track progression and now music essays (my cup of tea). Loving the experimentation mate

[@UberEric]

One of the best albums of the last 10 years. It never fails to get me out of a slump and reminds me life doesn’t have to be so bad with friends around you.

[@T.O.L.D]

I cant believed this came up on my feed, somewhere city is my favorite album of all time and ive never met anyone else that even knows about it

[@IdolAmyRose]

GOD I love their music so much, ty for making this video and kinda spreading the word abt them gosh their music hits just right

[@borealis227]

One of my favorite albums of all time. My gf introduced me to this band and that makes this album even more special to me, I'll never get tired of it.

[@joonefps]

I left a comment on this video a month ago but this video is seriously one of the best on KZbin in my opinion, the way you summarise the lyrics is spot on and you point out things i didn't notice despite this being one of my Top 3 albums of all time. The closing track is probably one of my favourite closers on an album i've ever heard. Origami Angel rock.

[@thatariii]

no bc i recently found origami angel and i absolutely love them so much

[@GreaseF1re]

Ive now listened to this album at least 100 times

[@ebenezerspludge8369]

Came back to this album when Gami Gang came out and can't believe how much I love this album. Can't wat to see them live in a month.

[@cndlmst]

Holy shit this album is amazing, been listening since it came out.

[@yuragi3791]

This video was a pleasant surprise, I would like to see more videos like this in the future.

[@joonefps]

Somewhere City is an album i found around early 2021. Really one of those albums that just makes you wanna get up and dance. 10/10.

[@Parallaxxx]

Ever since this video dropped 9 months ago, I've been listening to somewhere city for quite some time over and over. I always comeback to the album because of the story or meaning behind the entire album addiontally, the vocals are very raw and touching which is why I also comeback to the album. When I first saw this video I was able to relate and understand the story. This video motivated me to listen to the album with an open mind because of Etennie's dedication to go in depth towards "somewhere city." The detailed analysis, description, and interpretation was a good way to convince me to listen to "somewhere city" This is also my first time to listening to the "emo" genre that is kinda more leanient on the positive side. If Etennie were to make a similar video on a different song album or genre, I would definietly listen to it on loop just like "somewhere city"

[@stoptakingmomo]

Found 24 hour drive thru on etterna and I wanted more because I really enjoyed the song. This really branches me out and exposes me to more absolute bangers. Thank you!!

[@boy2202]

1:16 YOOOOOO THATS COMANDER SALAMANDER, ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS BANDS. HE DA DRUMMER LIAM CRONE. Once I got the notif for this vid I was like "bet I wanted to get into emo anyways" and then he started talking about origami angel and I was like :o and then Etienne was all like *mentions something one of my best friends made* Pogger

[@TheFlyingSqurrel]

Love that guy's drumming, found salamander from their collaboration with origami angel and have been enjoying them since.👍

[@boy2202]

@@TheFlyingSqurrel you love to see your homies get the love they deserve. Guy has been in Berkelee for like two years now, been playing non-fucking-stop for 7ish I think. He is probably the best drummer I know by far, a beast if you would

[@boy2202]

@@TheFlyingSqurrel also check out the band 'prince daddy and the hyena', mainly the ep 'adult summers' its only 9 minutes so it's a great introduction to them, they from the same area

[@katiouss]

Hey I remember talking about this on stream last night

[@demiurge2501]

I’m so glad I already knew what this is. I feel like a god

[@Starstrike21]

bro thanks for making this, literally my favorite album ever lol

[@camaroEE]

This video is stellar! My friend introduced me to this album earlier this year and it has quickly become one of my all time favorites, and it's awesome to see someone break it down like this! Awesome job!

[@regand8987]

Somewhere city sounds like there should be a musical based on it

[@oeggebb1801]

amazing video. a video about glass beach would be also amazing

[@TheDumbTwin]

SS is one of the only albums that consistently give me chills

[@strikeforce1500]

I found out about Origami Angel thanks to Good Kid's short recommendation shortly after they released Mimi's Delivery Service. Title Track being my favorite song of all. It is a great song,and it grow a lot in me, alongside Brightest Day. And as someone who is very shy,closed and insecure with my few friendships, I both can relate to some of the songs and inspire me to be more outgoing with my friends. It is a struggle,as my hobbies are uncommon for most people of my age and country's culture,but I try bit by bit.

[@dragonslayerbh1199]

THATS HOW I FOUND THEM TOO!!! Thats so cool

[@berb8300]

Glad I got to see them live this year in Richmond! Amazing band!

[@TheCreampie12]

Already loved this album, glad you love it too!

[@S4KMANIA]

im in the fragging community of Phantom Forces on Roblox (i know, lame as hell), and one of the larger members of the community named spirals used both Welcome to... and Skeleton Key in some of his newer videos. those videos introduced me to both the fragging community as well as origami angel. the point is that when i heard the opening notes to both of those songs, i became that meme of Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at a screen lmao

[@bbbelt_far]

3y ago lol Spirals’s skeleton key fragmovie is what got me both into pf and origami angel lolol

[@dom_40]

Very surprised to see Etienne talking about emo music.. especially my favorite album ever. Thanks for the video, this is awesome

More videos like this would be cool. Hopefully more of your viewers will give it a chance. I love reviews, discussions, etc of albums and songs etc

[@lainnislame]

this album is genuinely amazing and it makes me happy to see you giving it love

[@charlottesimss9853]

Doing the Most EP was what got me into them, and then seeing them on their Gen 3 "tour" in a warehouse with no more than 20 people made me a super fan. Crazy that the next time I saw them was after Gami Gang dropped and the entire venue was sold out with the entire crowd being the pit

[@gxbeurl_3183]

If you have the album on repeat, ending track transitions to the opening track

I listened to somewhere city so much a few years back and it really carried me through a lot of my self esteem issues I had. I love origami angel a whole lot

[@noone-pg4lr]

Good review one of my favorites from this band

[@quartztz]

I only got into the band a couple of weeks ago through Spotify recommendations, and I gotta say your analysis of the second track was exactly the thought process that made me like them so much. I had thoroughly enjoyed glass beach and dogleg and it just felt like the right mix of loud, screamed and wholesome.

[@quantumvortex]

oh i just mapped one of the songs from this album in osu!, good shit

[@YOSFP]

hey alright, thanks for reminding me to get into this album.

[@dingdongdingus777]

i was so blessed to see them live. LIFE CHANGING.

[@oenwilson2486]

One thing I wish you mentioned was how in The Air Up Here, after the overwhelming vocals the line that stands out before the breakdown was "I feel so lost" instead of " _when_ I feel so lost" and that one word difference has so much importance cuz it's like, at the start of the album he says how when he feels so lost he wants to go to Somewhere City, but at the end when he did arrive, he starts to realize he feels lost after arrivig in the city and it kind of makes a paradox between him going to Somewhere City because he feels lost, but then being there also makes him feel lost, so... where would he go?

[@thundertower]

i see this band as a song writing prodigies.

[@CacoPholey]

Listened to this album last night after playing 24 hour drive-thru on etterna, loved it so much

[@flowerbrain]

thank you for making this, i love this album so much, this is probably my all time favorite album and best work from origami angel.

[@MayonnaiseOreo]

It's a small thing but I believe Origami Angel is from Greenbelt, MD. I know it's super close to DC but we Marylanders need to get credit for the few bands we actually have. A lot of the specifics in their songs are about spots in Greenbelt and PG County, like Kenilworth Ave. and 193.
