Song are just great.
The dbs/The Cars/The Nerves/Buzzcocks ect.
Very refreshing occasionally to listen to craft that has little overthought. Big fan of hearing something that isn’t trying to be experimental Or cutting edge occasionally. Just songs. Songs are great.
time frame's approximate buuuut you know it when you hear it. think "poker face". there is so much space and everything's so dry... there is no lushness... the drum samples are unbelievably flat... and yet! and yet! it works so well! the economy of production makes any pop singer's vocals soar even higher than they would otherwise, and really pares the machine of a pop song down to its bare necessities... which is why i think we got so many bangers in this period. there's a lot of good stuff to get into even if it's just for nostalgia
