I actually hadn't listened to any Bauhaus before this. Kinda wish I'd done so sooner now. Reminds me of a less abrasive and slowed down Scratch Acid. I think I'll check out In The Flat Field later. Great rec, thanks.
Definitely check it out, it's the better album, I just made a bad assumption.

Hey Ben, I totally missed it when you posted. Sorry about that. That said, I'm a longtime King Missile fan. Haven't listened to that record in a couple years, but I remember liking it. Maybe not as much as the earlier records, but there were a few really funny ones.
This was my favorite of theirs as I thought it darker than some others (see the title track), though the humor carried over, for sure.

Ok so I looked to the artwork and thought... It must be a new album from an old jazz band that are making covers of great hits of 1960
And when I listened.... Wow
It's a kind of Hip-pop, It has some rap in the beginning and then becomes a little poppy... I liked it.. not so much, but better than what I expected
By the way Guns for hands is my favorite..
It's actually the 2 guys' grandparents on the cover, fun fact. Also, it's only two guys, fun fact. I know it wasn't a perfect rec, but glad you liked it nonetheless.
No idea if this is what I was supposed to listen to but

Was kinda annoying, really. More than it was music or deep or soulful, it tried to be fun and lively and deep at the same time, I felt, and came out more Enchanted Tiki Room at times than anything more interesting. It was like listening to a couple albums at once with birds going at the same time, not for me.
seacowphil, I see you like Manchester Orchestra and KoC, so here's a band I think sounds like if those two and Bloc Party were combined:
It was decent; I liked the sound, but the songs were all too much like every other song. The first track was the best, but even that was kind of boring. I guess I could sum this album up as boring. The main problem I had was everything was too mid - tempo for me. If you're looking for something to chill to, then I guess this might be for you, but there are plenty of other albums that do that better so it's just really mediocre in all aspects. That's not to say it's a bad album though, it sounded good, but I do take issue that it's not at all interesting especially when it has a sound that is similar to plenty of other albums.

As this looks to be my album (oh joy another one as just a random person above rather than a personalized ... whatever that's part of the game), how does one find it, since it's not on Spotify? _________________
That guy's voice was really annoying; tooo... whiny I guess, I like it better when he screams. I'm not very fond of the instrumentals too, sorry. The album is ok, but not ma thing
It's a good sunshine/power pop album, with catchy melodies and hooks galore. It's very derivative of course, but the strength of the melodies gets the album going easily. I can sometimes be a bit put-off by a more ordinary-sounding sequence ("Hey Brother"/"I'll be Your Lampshade") but all in all it's solid and has that feel all powerpop records should have: songs first.
I'd give it a 70 if I were in a rating mood, 70 meaning "good" by my book.
