this is tough to admit but I don’t exactly get their music despite the critical acclaim
they obviously have talent and kind hearts/souls but I could never get into them, i have always gotten the vibe that they were very self serious as artists and it makes me kind of nervous tbh
Okay I'm glad someone else couldn't really get into them besides me. There's a few songs that I've liked, but overall I just couldn't get interested. I don't think it's a quality issue; it's probably just not my taste. I feel like I would have to be like laying in a field somewhere, in a very specific situation, for their music to click for me. Otherwise I'm never like "I'm in the mood for Adrianne Lenker right now." I don't think my mind is ever calm enough for their music to hold my attention, even if the lyrics are good, but that's a me problem.
slowdazzle for me it is less about music and just more about antics and the tenuous relationship with like music journalism/media - they have huge hearts and wear it on their sleeve, but they lay it on thick
they’re coming out with a new album and this single “Incomprehensible“ has me sooo excited!! i always listen to them super heavily during the fall, something deeply cozy about their vibe.
i found dutch interior from them opening for current joys and have been obsessed ever since!! idk how to describe their sound it’s indie twang but also not? all i know is it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside and this album specifically is goated so listen if you dare 😈
