Report this album or account. Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers. A deep world of introspection released at a time when it seemed like our own thoughts were the only thing we could even try to control or understand. Punisher may not have necessarily been a product of the time, but it was definitely a fitting collection for the occasion. Caleb Wallace.
I need to start a garden! Brian McCue. It's a Megablast bighare. Au Baccara by Odezenne. Moody and minimal synth-based music combines the bleakness of EBM with wry spoken-word French vocals.
Rien by odezenne. Bordeaux boom bap - on which casually delivered raps are backed with more than a dash of electro pop. A fine existential song. Bandcamp Daily your guide to the world of Bandcamp.

The lyrics, the production, and the instrumentation make the songs sound like nothing else that is being released today. Each record creates its own genre from elements of hip hop, rock, pop, folk, and experimentation that keeps an active listener wanting more. Give this album a chance, the Pitchfork review doesn't do this album justice. This album was what I wanted to hear after "Alopecia". It isn't Give this album a chance, the Pitchfork review doesn't do this album justice.
It isn't quite as cohesive as the previous two albums, but the organic, multi-layered sound will keep you captivated. Give it a chance. This album kills it. I really kind of expected this album to be the sound we'd hear after Alopecia.
Definitely one of the most listenable Why? Everyone is doing their thing so well, and there are so many fun and surprising moments. Nice one. I don't want to sound like a total pedant, but Ian Cohen has bashed out this sort of "review" before his hatchet-job of FOTL comes to mind , I don't want to sound like a total pedant, but Ian Cohen has bashed out this sort of "review" before his hatchet-job of FOTL comes to mind , so just ignore his opinion when it oozes onto this site.
Mumps, etc itself though - bloody great. Lyrically engaging, musically accomplished and brilliantly sequenced, I find it to be a more than worthy addition to the Why? Wait until the reissue in 10 years time and pitchfork will give it a 10 out of But when really getting to the bottom of why Mumps, etc. Musically, it's perfectly fine and a logical dovetailing of Alopecia 's sharp hybrid of hip-hop and indie rock with Eskimo Snow 's forays into post-rock and folk, if maybe sidling a little too close to the sort of Danger Mouse -style pop-hop it knows it can't be.
And that's because Wolf has completely lost a grip on judging his own vocals. They've always been an acquired taste for sure, and on Alopecia and Eskimo Snow , Wolf showed a canny command of his various modes of monotone, staggered rapping, heartsick crooning that packed unorthodox pop smarts. As Wolf attempts a more perfect union of those various modes, he ends up with a hybrid that somehow manages to bring all of his most grating qualities to the fore, to the point where the actual words of a line like "when I got better from the mumps, yes-- my swollen nut and neck shrunk" are the least objectionable thing about it.
Technically catchy but irritating all the same, "Jonathan's Hope" and "Strawberries" are the inexplicable singles, and as Wolf sings brutal rhymes such as, "Slow pitching like a Vatican priest to be pope-- what? There too are remnants of Anticon. At the very least, Mumps, etc. It's usually attributed to albums so off the grid that fans will inevitably refuse to follow, yet those always strike me as a cry for help, a need to trigger a reaction.
But I don't think that's the case here. On the contrary, Mumps, etc.
