I found Palace while on a deep Beach Fossils rabbit hole and Iāve had them on almost every new playlist Iāve made since.
āWhen Everything Was Lostā feels like such a great breakup / nostalgia song. And then āSonā right after gives me a strange sense of hope? I think their previous albums felt a little more upbeat, or higher in spirit. But I like how Ultrasound feels different in its undertones, a little bit reflective and a little bit defeated, and yet hopeful. I think itās a great rainy day album and start to finish it flows seamlessly.

š a landmark record for me,
the variety of the record is astounding, yet everything still feels very cohesive,
this sense of journey is typically not as effectively portrayed in compilation albums such as this one, but āLost Blues and Other Songsā pulls it off with an effortless subtlety,
West Palm Beach and Gulf Shores feel like the climax of the record, but every track before and after them is equally rewarding in their own way,
Ive become more and more perceptive about different things on every track, the recordās purity results in the perfect encapsulation of Oldhamās appeal

The standout hits are Slugs (my song of the summer) and Yard (truly a song worth sitting and crying to).
I wouldnāt say theyāre sad rock, but their songs are very reflective of past love / mistakes / recognizing your limits as a person / a long to change who you are; you can relate to the album regardless of where youāre at. They also have a little midwestern hint to their sound, and they sneak a harmonica & some banjo into Broadview, which is a nice little change of pace.
I like albums that make you feel things and this one brings a sense of understanding & acceptance whenever I listen to it. Like yes, I can relate to the feelings & the pain & regret in the songs, but theyāre almost written (and meant to be listened to) from the other side, once youāve made it through those life moments and can look back at them understanding how theyāve brought you to this very moment. Thatās this album for me.

Iāve been listening to this album on repeat since it came out. Thereās this lyric on it, āI feel nothing, just the chlorine blueā that feels like the thesis of the album. Itās the feeling of driving home after going swimming. My friend described it as being in a rip curl. Itās all so peaceful and enveloping. The palette it explores is so delicate and pretty, very digital but still human, like nothing Iāve heard before. And it backs it all up with just really beautifully written pop songs. There are real ear worms here. So put this on after a dip in some water and let it envelop you.

ā„ļøI feel like thereās a special connectivity on this app that I havenāt felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010ās tumblr. The fact that you canāt promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isnāt mass video content like Tik Tok is great. Itās not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope weāll all be here for a long time.

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones ā we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness ā weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

š„I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. Itās made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought Iād feel the same way about URL friends. Iām constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
Itās nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. Iām going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
