Incredibly catchy indie pop from two musicians who are touring members of Water From Your Eyes and have played in a bunch of other experimental indie bands around NY. Most underrated album of the year by far.

In Evening Air is a personal all-time classic, but aside from a few singles here and there nothing from these guys has caught me… until now!
I always described them as “Tom Waits fronting a synthpop band,” which is still true, but there’s a little more emphasis on the synthpop now. “The Thief” might be the best pop song I’ve heard in years.

such a gorgeous album, somewhere in between familiar shoegaze and UK trip hop. the siren vocals, the massive attack beats, the field recordings. perfect album. i’ll be at the philly ortliebs show end of march, probably solo probably weeping but in very dignified and compelling way

Criminally under-heard power pop that sounds like the best music from 90s college radio. Sonically immaculate, lush and nostalgic, really bittersweet. If you've been rocking that P4k 90s playlist that was going around a few days ago, I can guarantee that you will love this.
Also, it's 13 songs in 21 minutes! His s/t first album is also short, sweet, and basically perfect, but it doesn't have Imagine 2:
Imagine if your brain became undone
Imagine thinking nothing's ever right
Not so out of sight

Listened to this song the second it dropped and haven't stopped listening to it. There's a line so sacrilegious I laughed out loud the first time I heard it. Impassioned and fierce and fearless on a level few bands can manage.
Easily my most anticipated album of the year.

Hard to describe how much I love this little song. Incredibly catchy and fun melody. The lyrics are oddly endearing for a song about being obsessed with Shadow the Hedgehog.
I think, deep down, we all wish we were Shadow the Hedgehog if we're being honest with ourselves.

I've listened to so much Irish folk music since Shane MacGowan's passing and it really is a salve like no other. Always rousing and joyful while recounting life's endless hardships. Defiant. Beautiful.
