Ivers in tier list I first listened to all of this two and a half years ago, in March of 2024. Ivers would’ve been my 192nd artist, between 191: Lana Del Rey (D-) and 192: ZAYN (B+→A-). There’s only a pair of EPs, but taken together I think there’s enough for me to count them. It’sContinue reading “351: Ivers (A-)”

350: Cavetown (A-)
Cavetown in tier list I think this is very good, this is pretty up my alley. I found myself immediately drawn to the energy of it: there is an intimacy and sincerity to it that manages to seep into the feeling of the music instead of just staying stuck in the lyrics. I think thatContinue reading “350: Cavetown (A-)”
349: Bill Wurtz (C)
Bill Wurtz in tier list I first listened to all of Bill Wurtz’s stuff about a year and a half ago. If I’d counted him as an official listen then, he would’ve been my 256th artist, between 255: Sam Dew (B-) and the 256: Eagles (B). I’ve listened to him for even longer than that, though,Continue reading “349: Bill Wurtz (C)”
348: Jamie Miller (B-)
Jamie Miller in tier list I first listened through all of Jamie Miller’s stuff (little as there is) almost exactly three years ago, at the behest of a girl, but he didn’t have a full studio album released at the time so I didn’t count it as an official listen and I didn’t make anyContinue reading “348: Jamie Miller (B-)”
347: LAUNDRY DAY (B-)
LAUNDRY DAY in tier list I’ve tagged this in my internal records as “distinct_phases,” by which I mean that the band has, well, distinct phases. It’s consistent, but only within its distinct phases. I think it’s pretty good in its good phase, but I got tired of its bad phase. Y’know? It’s a little trickyContinue reading “347: LAUNDRY DAY (B-)”
346: Gus Dapperton (A-)
Gus Dapperton in tier list I first heard Gus Dapperton as an opener to 68: Still Woozy (S-) when I went to see him live a bit over a year ago. I remember getting into it and being surprised by how much I liked it right off the bat, which was only emphasized when the StillContinue reading “346: Gus Dapperton (A-)”
345: Dev Lemons (B)
Dev Lemons in tier list I first saw Dev Lemons as an opener to a 24: half•alive (A+→S-→S)concert about three years ago. 341: Tessa Violet (B-) opened for the same concert, and the next few artists I have queued up to listen to are also all ones that I encountered as openers I’ve enjoyed. I’ve putContinue reading “345: Dev Lemons (B)”
344: BoyWithUke (B)
BoyWithUke in tier list I debated with myself a little over whether I should log this as BoyWithUke or as Chandol. I settled on BoyWithUke because that’s the name all his stuff up to this point is under, but I could see myself changing it later. Probably if I did that I’d just put itContinue reading “344: BoyWithUke (B)”
343: Flipturn (A+)
Flipturn in tier list I was fully hooked by my first day of listening, just from their first EP, Heavy Colors, and I only liked them more after that. I listened to all of their songs at least four times, I think, and many of them I listened to even more. As it turns out,Continue reading “343: Flipturn (A+)”
342: Hot Freaks (A-)
Hot Freaks in tier list I think I felt largely indifferent until “Pull.” That one hooked me pretty well, and after that I was much more inclined to listen closely, and do more than just my minimum two listens. I like it, it’s fun. To be totally honest, I feel like it starts scratching anContinue reading “342: Hot Freaks (A-)”
