Everything ..."" black midi is not just a hype, for several months, I promise a bright future for this new English band. The four musicians have risen with ridiculous ease to the rank of the most exciting band of the UK underground scene, claiming their outsider status by an incredible stage presence. Everything starts with a live recorded in the studios of the KEXP radio. They become the ones we expect, they intrigue the specialized press and remain however in a virtual silence. And after months of waiting, the time of the first effort has finally come; "Schlagenheim" is released. The first impression must always be the strongest; and that, black midi understood it well. The visual and musical chaos offered by the quartet is in fact perfectly controlled. Architects of anarchy, black midi also know how to slow down the pace. Schlagenheim has just closed the question that burned the lips of all music lovers: black midi are not just a hype. They are reinventing guitar rock with one of the most dazzling debut album of the decade. 9/10 Best track: "Near DT, MI""  [+]  Reply

I didn't dabble on it too long, so I was intrigued when her name came up again when this record received a lot of praise. It's definitely worth a listen. Olsen's singing is good, but her songs keep you interested with good variety and passion she presents here. This album will make Angel Olsen a sweetheart of the indie genre.

This album is perfect through and through and if you haven't listened to it yet, do yourself a favor and take a listen. Currently somewhat overlooked and underrated, but if you've listened to it as much as I have, you can see there's something so incredibly unique that exists within the eclectic mix of genres (some glam-rock, post-punk, pop) he's cultivated. I can't exactly put my finger on it, so I like to call it "maplerock." There are some other Canadian bands associated with him that I also define as maplerock such as Homeshake, Freelove Fenner, Each Other, Alex Calder, that are also worth checking out. "  [+]  Reply

And yes she is a precociously deft songwriter with striking, crinkly-voiced R&B-style vocals who has a knack for making a catchy, moody modern pop song as her singles attest (particurally the digital-finger-snap paranoia of "Bury a Friend") who can occasionally open up to something more geniunely vulnerable and confrontational ("I Love You"). WWAFAWDWG also constantly reminds of you every other 21st century slightly left-of-center pop star, with elements of The Weeknd, Melanie Martinez, Sky Ferreira, Imogen Heap, (dear god) Halsey and espcially Lorde strewn throughout and which can occasionally lead into straight-faced impressionism. And "My Strange Addiction" is one of the more risible tracks I've heard recently (ESPECIALLY because of the samples), but that should've been obvious from the title alone. Again, like a lot of pop albums it would still keep the momentum and be far more effective if it cut the song length in half. So yes I think this album is getting greatly overpraised for critics who want to latch themselves on to the next big thing and avoid Getting It Wrong-tm. I also do think she has a lot of potential if she can use her influences more as seasoning than ingredients, and if she stops thinking she's the edgiest teen in the world and just allows her so-far overprocessed and somewhat stifled compositions to reveal their rawer side and eventually grow into their fullest capabilities.

The title track reminds of something on Blood on the Tracks... "Buckets of Rain" a bit, maybe... The picking, some phrasing, and overall vibe on third track "Troubles..." is total Dylan... reminds of "Boots of Spanish Leather" among many others... I'm a new comer to this guy... Obviously very talented but not really overly impressed...especially vocals seem too forced with contrived emotion and constant clever little entertaining flourishes I find distracting and tedious... comes across as sounding a little too desperate to be hip and it clashes with attempt to sound oh so laid back and relaxed, Dylanesque... Obviously he's young and a bit green... Might learn to chill out and just play and let it flow as he gets older and develops his chops... Anyway, sometimes it takes a few listens to hook me... I'll give it more time... "  [+]  Reply

"This is actually my preferred Alvvays album; they have this nostalgic twang to their brand of dream pop that just feels so warm and inviting. This album is solid all the way through and definitely a top recording of 2017 Favorite tracks: Dreams Tonite, Not My Baby, Lollipop (Ode to Jim)"  Reply
