Little bit frustrated hearing this as this is the exact same sound I have been trying to work towards in my own music and this group of artists achieved it with such mastery. sounds like nothing youve ever heard before, or like Midwest emo songs blown up into a million pieces and reassembled and disassembled in real time.
But actually it’s fine, this album has given me tons of ideas for my own music so very happy it exists actually

Two things. All of my peers make music, but rarely do any of their songs make it into my listening catalog. Also, I hate emo. The Branching Out EP may have changed that? This EP takes the things about emo that turned me off and turns me on to them. Lyrics devoid of individualism, *riffs*, and fun vibes. This was made by a BAND who’s having fun and I’m having fun with them. It makes you want to go to a show again. The words are so stupid yet comforting, the musicianship indulgent but exciting, the affect emo with a 1/4 cup of hope. It’s self taught musicians cosplaying the Berklee School of Music School of Music but without the chord sheets or pretension. Track titles such as Vampire Vibes, Confessions of an Aries, and This Wasn’t On My Planner display a finger on the pulse ironic sincerity that actually works for once. It’s about heartbreak, being nervous, having a crush, and wanting to die. Perfect for my little brothers friend/ex pupil of mine from my time as counselor at a rock n’ roll music camp located in the basement of the church in my suburb who attended their EP release show in New York. I think this appeals to 16 year old life noobs, 20 something year old haters like myself, and even the chicks. I could listen to them whine all day.

Cool grunge/post-rock coming out of Copenhagen. Reminds of me of the song Superstar by Pretty Sick.

this early 2000s rebellious american indie rock band sounds like dreaming of freedom and wealth from your parents basement while playing on games on your playstation 2
as a non-american, this is one of the most fascinating pieces of media in the world to me, such a feel good and colorful sound

separate your to do list into what does and doesn’t require a screen, and do those lists separately
means you aren’t constantly bouncing between a screen and the material world. Bonus points if your screenless list is completed without any music or podcasts or anything at all. You’re hiding your true power level by blocking all your thinking with consumption!!
posting a neoluddite rec on pifyi is basically reaction farming I’ve realised but I’m NOT that cynical I promise
