One for @blessingx -- possibly an all-time disconnect between vibe and content.

It’s like a metronome set at 2 and 4.

He's so polite and professional. I really enjoyed this.
Unrelated: math rock

Very much my vibe.

Rialto - Neon & Ghost Signs

I am fond of the new Shearwater album. Even has a Laurie Anderson cameo. This is not that:

This is:

Also my vibe. I have Catholic vibes.

Goes hard 🙃

^^ interesting. I like the tune.

I have the new album in my queue, but have not touched it yet. -- So, I listened to 'petal', and it was coming off strange on my headphones. Like it was over driven, sounding like woofer buzz. I have had this before by actually overdriving speakers. So I checked out the first track 'kiss me' and it had some of the same qualities. I double checked by pushing these through my emotivas a bit and yep it sounds like they made a choice. Engineered by Lou Carrao with Max Martin all over the place on the album. Maybe they think it is a 'raw' sound, but it just sounds muddy to me.

Regardless I do like the song itself, self actualizing and pissed. It has not turned me off of the album, I will probably listen and report in the other thread.

thanks Dusty.

Well that's too bad. For reference, my hearing damage is bad enough that I can't tell the difference than when it's just my hearing. At least shoegaze still sounds like shoegaze.

I know I've posted this before, but I was just forced to revisit it, and it's just as much an earworm as it ever was
