And So I Watch you From Afar's new album. It's basically Battles' first album, complete with obnoxious vocals--- which is new for them. I like it, definitely better than Gangs, though hard to compare to their S/T due to the lack of riff-centric and NOISY songs.

Anyways The Joy Formidable - Wolf's Law (2013) Not sure if I like this more than their full length debut (I'll need to listen to it a couple more times) but this is a solid piece of work. There's a really nice blend of rock, pop, and shoegaze and the album length really works to their favor, never getting dull but giving you a sense of satisfaction when it's over. They're really growing as a band and they haven't released anything I would call "dull" so I hope they can keep this momentum going because I think they could become pretty big in the next 3-5 years. |

Yeah, I wouldn't really call myself a fan, but they have some decent tracks. And I love their song "Sell Sell Sell". I don't know how well-known that one is, but I wish they did more like it. It sounds like an awesome version of a 1950s Hollywood musical and has some pretty good lyrics as well. Just the right amount of camp and razorblades for my taste.

Been really digging Undun from The Roots lately, I've been jamming to it all the way through almost everyday this week.

Perhaps I shouldn't dismiss them. I'm a fan of Marcy Playground even though most people dismissed them after "Sex & Candy". I'm glad I paid attention to the rest of the album, as I still enjoy it to this day.

Haha...that's actually a great example. I never gave Marcy Playground a chance after "Sex and Candy". I mean, I like that song...I just figured they were one hit wonders.
