Mamalarky is one of my favorite bands making music right now. I saw them live last spring when they were touring for their album Pocket Fantasy (one of my AOTYs last year!). Their music is intricate and plucky and has a nice coat of distortion on it. Everyone in the band shreds and their music is so fun to sing and dance to. This set they did for Audiotree is a good sample of their music from their last 2 albums plus a new one!
Bonus fact: Livvy (vox + guitar) and Noor (bass) played (still play?) in Faye Webster's touring band.

*Highlight Tracks: “63 skies”/“eight ball”/“sex benefits.5”
*Genre: Shoe-gaze/Noise Rock/Drum and Bass
*One of my favorite live albums. It offers a rawer take on some Tagabow songs, and these live versions often feel lot moodier (in the best way possible). It also includes the delightful electronic interludes featured in between songs during their live sets. This record just really displays They are Gutting a Body of Water’s excellence and further solidifies them as one of the most interesting shoe-gaze acts today.
*“63 skies” pummels you into the ground and leaves your chest caved in…I love it so much.

this album is genuinely fantastic!
i would describe it as a screamy alternative rock album, definitely with influences from hardcore, emo, and indie rock. that being said, i think that it is still suuuuper palatable for people who don't tend to listen to music that's as hard as what i listen to 😅
i went to the album release show back in march on the night of its release and the show was MAGICAL! i also saw Zeta open for them and they are also actually so goated. genuinely one of the best shows i've been to in a very long time :P
ps- the rest of their discography is also insane plsss give them a listen

BEST COAST NO COAST (technically wrong because we have THE LARGEST BODY OF FRESH WATER IN THE WORLD).
We're stereotyped as being nice; our signature dishes are all things that make you feel more full than a grain silo at the end of the harvest season; the great lakes are beautiful; supper clubs; 4 seasons superiority; relatively mild natural disasters; endless list of artists, musicians, generally successful and prolific people from the midwest; natural wonders galore (driftless region, boundary waters, apostle islands, etc.); eccentric culture and lifestyle; the list goes on and on.
I love being from Wisconsin, and I will never feel bad about it.

It's my favorite thing to get at dim sum! Crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside—it's a perfect vessel for chili oil and hoisin sauce. Wash it down with hot tea after, of course
