listen to the microphones - mount eerie next

[@smags1082]

Bet thank you

[@jackiskcaj2870]

This one! Would love to hear his thoughts on that record especially

[@slumox213]

microphones in 2020 is one of the best albums of all time. It has a 44 minute music video attached to it that you could react to

[@bennettrad2004]

It was Hot, we stayed in the Water by the microphones is the original album of the trilogy, much more instrumentally similar to the Glow pt.2, even having the first “Glow song”. The three albums are supposed to represent the four elements: Fire, Water, Air & Earth. Glow pt. 2 is Fire, Mount Eerie is air and earth, and It Was Hot is water. Definitely should listen to it just to get the whole picture!!!

[@Camothor10]

Agreed love that album

[@savvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvva]

First, Crystal Castles, now this… What’s next Donuts? Girl With Basket of Fruit? HAQQ? Shaking the Habitual??? Thank you kind sir for spoiling us with these treats! ❤

[@priorbj6562]

HAQQ and shaking the habitual would be awesome. I can only imagine how he’d react to God of Love and Full of Fire

[@beyondthenile]

one of my fav albums oat, started freaking out when i saw this vid got uploaded

[@Lucas-dy7xv]

I listened to this earlier today!

[@Brandon-xx4ry]

the other two dudes were Karl Blau, also from his home town and Kyle Field who records under the name Little Wings, both worth checking out in their own right.

[@Brandon-xx4ry]

also you should review the band Karate self titled album

[@beepst]

When I first heard The Sun, I thought for a second that I was listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor lol.

[@Frasierrr]

recs: Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyles (Sick sounding early 90s math/indie rock, awesome guitar tone) Cap'n Jazz - Shmap'n Shmazz (The goats of midwest emo... the originators... I don't gotta say anything else. The album is the first 12 tracks of the compilation that's on Spotify btw, but you should also check out the Take On Me cover that's directly after the album in the tracklist, it's awesome) Swirlies - Blonder Tongue Audio Baton (GORGEOUS unique sounding early 90s shoegaze, sounds like mbv, pavement, guided by voices with twee pop mixed in, so awesome, better than Loveless imo) Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes (Unique folk-punk, early 80s college/alt rock, very catchy) Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque (Really catchy power pop, slightly shoegazey, same label as The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine) Quasi - Featuring "Birds" (Awesome Built to Spill-esque/Pacific Northwest indie rock, same label as Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Duster etc) The Breeders - Pod (Unique early 90s alt rock, Steve Albini prod, was in Kurt Cobain's top 3 albums of all time) Slint - Tweez (Sick late 80s post-hardcore/math rock, also Steve Albini prod) Pinback - Pinback (Very chill and creative late 90s indie rock) Modest Mouse - This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About (Amazing album, basically as good as The Lonesome Crowded West) The Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land (badass big-beat dance music) Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand (lovely 90's lo-fi) Hella - Hold Your Horse Is (Math Rock with the drummer from Death Grips, before he was in Death Grips) Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (Absolutely perfect 90's indie rock album)

[@stillanimal]

& Yo La Tengo

[@eatthem5829]

hell yeah! gbv and hella right next to each other is glorious!

[@meatgrinder9506]

No Steve Albini bands thou?

[@Frasierrr]

@@meatgrinder9506 I'll rec Songs About Fucking after he's heard a few more of these

[@manhattenman6075]

Please check out Tortoise - Millions now Living will never die, its a post-rock classic, and one of the best, also please hit some Mogwai soon youll enjoy them, one of the best post-rock bands. As the Love countiues, Young Team and Happy Songs for Happy People would be great.

[@dogmanbitehurt8243]

agree on the Tortoise, but I think it should be TNT instead

[@manhattenman6075]

@@dogmanbitehurt8243 TNT is incredible

[@silentclashes7267]

Lost Wisdom and Dawn would prolly be the Mount eerie projects to check out but u should do you forgot it in people instead :)

[@ZenixRulez]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MY GUY a few recommendations: Ghosts of the Great Highway - Sun Kil Moon SMILE :D - Porter Robinson (pop-punk, pop, electronic) Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop) Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)

[@fullcol]

same comment copied and pasted 100+ times give it a rest buddy

askin for Autechre - untilted yet again

[@grapespace]

I listen to this album when I go on night walks. There’s also an episode of the podcast“Life of the Record” where Phil goes into detail about how this album was made. It’s really interesting stuff. P.S / EDIT: The artists other than Phil that appear on this record are fellow local musicians from Phil’s area. Kyle Field played the role of “Big Black Death” and Karl Blau wrote and performed the song of the vultures. Kyle Field has released music under the name “Little Wings” for decades. His song, “Fall Flood” inspired the melody for “Solar System” on this album. On that note, there’s a nice lil video of him and Phil playing “Solar System” together than you can find here on KZbin. It’s a great vibe. Karl Blau, to my knowledge, just releases music under his own name. He’s got a song called “Fallin Rain” that I really dig.

[@nostalgia_clinic]

mewithoutYou - Brother, Sister on the stremf

[@DiNtU_]

he ain’t ready for mwY but that would be 🔥

[@witchduck2230]

one of my favorite albums of all time

[@Sahil99413]

Ya it really does, more you get it more you enjoy it

[@tomcooks2562]

Daughters - You Wont Get What You Want. You gotta do that for the fall

[@roman76bd]

Since you have now reacted to some Seattle Indie Albums from the early 2000s with the Microphones or Unwound I feel like I have the perfect recommendation for you if you want to check out an underrated masterpiece in that field. The album is Songs About Leaving by Carissa's Wierd. Interesting for you to know is that Carissa's Wierd shows up on Spotify in the "Fans also like" section for Have A Nice Life, Giles Corey, The Microphones and Mount Eerie. Songs about Leaving is really melancholic and what is so special about it is the extremely beautiful instrumentation. I would absolutely love to see so a reaction to this masterpiece

[@Jesster-w5p]

Can you do a El Mal Querer by Rosalia it is an amazing concept album with some of the best writing I’ve seen

[@Sahil99413]

the sun watches it all ,stays with you all the time, but then it sets leaving you in darkness

[@kaps-fh1rv]

It was hot, we stayed in the water is my favourite of the microphones albums - would love to see you react to the production on that thing. Also usual reminder to listen to wild is the wind - Nina Simone.

[@Sahil99413]

i take this album as his journey through depression

[@Sahil99413]

Btw there is prequel to glow pt 2 called it was hot we stayed in water it has very cool sounds ,you'll like that one for sure

[@ilovebears1233]

[@artvandeIay]

Fabulous muscles by xiu xiu 🥺🥺🥺

[@SuperBlij]

JOO Smags The Dare (the producer of “guess” by Charli XCX) has a new album out which I still heavily recommend even tho some call him a LCD sound system rip off as his production on some of these new tracks of him are insane And Fat Dog have their debut album out called “WOOF” which if you like “windmill core” (black midi, BCNR or Squid) you’re definitely in for a treat

[@iwlllfindyou]

dandelion seeds - d+

[@ilovebears1233]

[@juan-pt4vc]

You can't escape another Cerati album. My suggestion is Dynamo - Soda Stereo (Cerati's band)

[@HudsonB-pd3ud]
