Loving the new Wreck and Reference album, Absolute Still Life. Sturdy Dawn is one of, if not their best, track.

Just listened to this album. Very impressive. Sort of like what I imagine a 2019 Slint might be like. Seems like it will only get better with multiple listens too. A lot going on. AOTY top something for sure.

For me, it's way too maximal to be compared to Slint.

What do you mean by maximal?

Dense, in your face constantly. Slint goes in and out between lulls and climaxes.

Well Absolute Still Life does the spoken word thing and all the genre blending breeds a similar kind of dynamic from soft to smashing. But yeah I get your point. When I said a 2019 Slint I meant a very heavy emphasis on the 2019 part.

Wrong thread for this but whatevs:

Twins are doing great, both are super healthy and kicking around in there. I sing to them every night, usually Beatles ballads or some vocal jazz song. I did “God Only Knows” tonight. They respond well to “What a Wonderful World.”

I currently work for the YMCA and most of the kids fight more than the ones that I worked with in Nicaragua who were literally glue sniffing addicts who lived in actual garbage, so make that of what you will. Iowans don’t **** around.

Still waiting on some random **** related to my teaching license since I’ve moved states, but I thiiiiiink it’s all gonna work out. I have a job lined up to teach freshmen English and debate!

That’s basically it. Love y’all, you especially OH. <3

PURGE
Album by Dis Fig

Quote:

The record wavers between Chen’s scorched vocals battling to be heard over brutal, electronic production and luminous, minimalist moments where her words resonate as tender pleas. Along the way, the album nods to trip-hop, techno, noise, punk and soul influences. But despite its progressive production, its emotional heart challenges the listener to empathize why Chen whips between violent outbursts and quiet pockets of respite.
