334: Stereosity (A)

Stereosity in tier list They’ve only got one album, New Life Will Grow, but it slaps. I heard a song or two of theirs that popped up on YouTube. I liked it a lot, and the album definitely holds up. It very much fits the mold of math rock, as I continue to understand it—changingContinue reading “334: Stereosity (A)”

333: Magdalena Bay (A)

Magdalena Bay in tier list This is kinda a toss up, in terms of the specific place I put it in the As. I know I want it to be a high A; more than that, I couldn’t really say. I don’t think the particular placing matters that much, means that much. It can’t, y’know?Continue reading “333: Magdalena Bay (A)”

332: Rooftops (A-)

Rooftops in tier list There’s just the one album, A Forest of Polarity. I listened to it four times; it’s pretty short and it’s the only album, so I figured I might as well. It sounds like math rock, I think, it fits the feel. A little bit, I don’t have much more to sayContinue reading “332: Rooftops (A-)”

331: Sarah and the Sundays (A-)

Sarah and the Sundays in tier list These guys had me constantly playing the “who does this sound like” game with myself. I kept feeling like there was someone they sounded so much like and I just could never place it. Their first album reminded me of Ivers, and also someone else I couldn’t getContinue reading “331: Sarah and the Sundays (A-)”

330: Roxette (C)

Roxette in tier list I think this is almost certainly too harsh a ranking. Throughout all the time I was listening to them, I had them pretty locked into my head as a B or a B-. But then, I was looking at my other artists and kinda going through those comparisons and trying toContinue reading “330: Roxette (C)”

329: The Elovaters (B-)

The Elovaters in tier list I was pleasantly surprised by this, I think. Reggae is one of the things I still have particular trouble listening to. It is kind of hypnotic, it starts and then all of the sudden it stops and I didn’t really hear any of it. I try to think back andContinue reading “329: The Elovaters (B-)”

328: Dom Fera (A)

Dom Fera in tier list I first listened through Dom Fera’s songs about a year and a half ago. He’s one of my best friend’s favorite artists, so I listened through all his singles and enjoyed them a fair bit. I wasn’t blown away, but I liked every song a lot, a few songs IContinue reading “328: Dom Fera (A)”

327: alt-J (A-)

alt-J in tier list I was pretty immediately hooked, or at least intrigued. The energy and the vibe is definitely up my alley, the soundscape of it all. Not every song feels like a winner off the cuff, but some of them definitely do, and every song definitely feels like it does good work inContinue reading “327: alt-J (A-)”

326: JVKE (A-)

JVKE in tier list It’s pretty good, pretty solid. Dunno that I have much more to say about it. Like, that’s a pretty lame review, but it’s kinda what I got. It is very pop music of its time, I think. It’s not breaking out of any molds, but it sounds good and I enjoyContinue reading “326: JVKE (A-)”

325: Faith Hill (D-)

Faith Hill in tier list Hm. I do think this is probably overly harsh. And yet, I don’t super care. The music is fine, it’s pleasant enough. There are songs I like. It’s just, it’s country, it’s Nashville. A pretty core part of my listening process is that I’m not just getting to know music,Continue reading “325: Faith Hill (D-)”
