you are someone else - fickle friends

the 2018 debut album of the indie pop band 'fickle friends' from sunny brighton. clearly influenced by the bouncey sound of 80s and early 90s synth pop, 'you are someone else' is an excellent collection of songs all about the toxicness and difficulties of all sorts of relationships from friends to lovers. the album also touches on mental health and feelings of worthlessness that might arise from or be impacted by our relationships with others and ourselves.

the album oozes summer vibes and good times (despite the intense lyrical content). it has the energy of technicolour written all over it, from the incredibly 80s album cover to the 16 track run. the essence of pop is seen throughout the entire album, there is not a modern album which captures the fundamentals of pop like this one. the implementation of the synthpop sound in this album is done amazingly, it is clearly influenced by the likes of duran duran and soft cell. however, fickle friends have managed to twist this sound into something fresh and full of life through the addition of these tropical influences unseen anywhere else. the sound of this album is unique and creates a cohesiveness.

my favourite track off the album would have to be 'swim', i'd call it the perfect pop song. the dreamlike instrumental perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being blinded by someone else's problems. the nostalgic vocals paired with this instrumental really extenuate that feeling of drowning, that bittersweetness of one-sided effort. unrequited love is a major theme throughout this album which is rarely explored elsewhere.

overall, 'you are someone else' takes the complexity of relationships and adapts it into a beautiful 80s inspired synthpop album. to me this is one of the best indie pop albums of the 2010s.

I know this is an absolute longshot and a shot in the dark while we’re at it, but I’ve seen many lost and found type tumblers on here so I thought I would ask

I’m looking for an artist album that I believe came out in the early to first half of 2018. it was a two disc album, I bought it on vinyl. I believe the cover was bluish with white, but I distinctly remember the vinyls themselves. One of them was a pale blue with very light white marbling and the other was green also with light marbling.

The other two I bought at the same time were Lord Huron and lo moons first album and from what I remember, the vibes were much more similar to low moon than Lord Huron. I am desperate to find this album again! I remember loving it and I sold the vinyls when I moved thinking I had copies on my computer, but I don’t and I’m horrible with names! If you have any idea of what this might be, the genre is most likely somewhere between ambient, art pop, Indie pop or Indie rock.
