Unknown Bands I Enjoy

My Music Sucks, So Take It From Me

My music taste is weird n' stupid. I'm sure you can imagine how well nineties alt-rock blends with Britney Spears. In relation, some of my favorite bands are pretty outcast. So, I'm going to share a few hidden-gem bands that I've discovered over time, listed in order from most-to-least popular. If you like the way that any of these sound, then you should listen to one of their records.

Dazey And The Scouts

I'm sure that if you were a 2020 survivor, you've heard at least one of their tracks- Track two- "Wet-" of their debut/finale hybrid, "Maggot." If you're not a 2020 survivor, you're a toddler, and you should get off my blog. I won't lie, that song is what got me into Dazey And The Scouts too. It was probably my most replayed song of my summer, bar Cabinet Man by Lemon Demon.

Though, this band is definitely a lot more than that one song. Well actually, only six tracks more, but still. So what do I have to say about those songs? Don't expect them all to be similar to Wet- The only song that's much similar is Nice Nice. That's how I went into this album, and suffice to say, I was very disappointed. Though, I gave it another run-through, and started appreciating the album for what it actually is.

The best way that I can describe their music is mostly if using humor as a coping mechanism for sexual issues was an album, with two more serious songs sprinkled in. I know that sounds absolutely garbage, but stick with me here.

To describe their sound, think about like if Pinkerton by Weezer was sung by a female vocalist. I'm very crappy at describing musical sound as you're about to see, but the instruments and vocals are very tightly knit together to me Everything's loud and grabs at your attention all at once, even in the sadder tracks.

In all, I definitely would recommend this album if you're willing to look past any bias of wanting every track to sound exactly like the popular one. In fact, that leads into my next band, which has a very similar story to how I got into this one.

Self

Self, usually stylized with a capital E. On the chance that you've heard anything by them, it's most likely their song Dead Man, from their album Gizmodgery. This is also the song that got me into this band, And I listened to it for weeks straight before finally deciding to listen to the full record.

I loved Gizmodgery at the time. I thought it was a near-perfect album, actually. Though, that was until I listened to their previous album, Breakfast With Girls. To this day, I still think that Breakfast With Girls is, for what it's trying to do, one of the best albums in it's style.

Self for the most part isn't meant to be too serious. It has lighthearted, at times stupid lyrics with a consistent upbeat style. A lot of their lyrics don't really make sense, and I like it. It leaves room open for interpretation. They were experimenting, and I think it worked.

The best way that I can describe their sound is that if you mixed the general tone of Tally Hall's M.M.M.M. with the general style of Weezer's blue album, along with a lot of sampling that fits snugly into the instrumental.

I don't have much else to say on this band. It's just dumb fun. If you want a record that can just instantly brighten your day a little, listen to Breakfast With Girls, which I think is a perfect starting album. If you like that, go to Subliminal Plastic Motives for an album that's just a bit deeper. If you like that, try their most experimental project, Gizmodgery, made entirely of toy instruments.

Plumtree

You know these guys from Scott Pilgrim if you do. I won't pretend like that's not how I found them. A friend who loves Scott Pilgrim listened to one of their records and liked it a lot, and told me about it. I listened to their album "Predicts The Future" and fell in love.

So, what is Plumtree? I'll tell you this, it definitely appeals more to my "Britney Spears" style of music from earlier, being described as "girl's punk" by somebody I won't name.The best way that I can describe their music is with another Weezer comparison, but I won't for your sake.

It's alternative "power pop". The sound is "lighter" than alt rock, but it's still kind of there at some points. Also has amazing vocalists. My favorite track is probably In The Sink, Only In Movies, or Aquarius.

I started with Predicts The Future, but my favorite album is definitely Mass Teen Fainting. This Day Won't Last At All sounded kind of bland and personality-less to me. If I could choose what you started with, listen to Mass Teen Fainting. That's really all that I have to say on this band.

Enon

You know just as much about this band as I do, if not more. Okay, in all seriousness, when writing this, I listened to their record High Society because it showed up in my Last.fm recommendations and I wanted something new.

Let me tell you now, that was one of the best decisions I've made. High Society at least, by Enon, is up there with my top recent albums now. Their sound is extremely unique, their lyrics are great, they have awesome vocals, they're just good all around.

The best way that I can describe Enon is that if you took my description of Self from earlier, leaned heavy into the rock, filled it with samples, wrapped it up all in the style of Bleach by Nirvana, and cranked the strangeness to 20.

If you can't tell, I've thought a ton about this album just because it's a complete anomaly to me. I have no idea what it was trying to accomplish when it was being made, but I think it pulled off everything it does flawlessly. It's like if Splatoon's fictional music was fitted into a Weezer costume.

Go Listen To These!!

Well, I hope I've hoped you find one diamond in the rough. These are some of my favorite records of all time, and I'm really glad that I discovered them, however so. I'm glad to share these obscurities with the world, too. Now go listen to one of the records I mentioned! I mean, i'm not forcing you, but at least ONE of them sounded good, right?

SNAIL MAIL - HEAT WAVE

[6.00]

And for our next post...

Ian Mathers: While I wish there was more of the specific, extremely nasty guitar tone shown off around a minute in (it pops up again, but not enough), at least it kind of grabbed my attention and made me pay more attention to what had previously sounded like a pleasant but slightly indistinct start. There are plenty of similarities to contemporaries, but the more I listen the more some of the songwriting starts reminding me of Plumtree (one of the great, deserve to be known for a lot more than giving Scott Pilgrim his name), especially when things get knotty both emotionally and sonically. Regardless, "and I hope whoever it is/holds their breath around you/'cause I did" is such a specific and powerful feeling and it's arguably not even the most powerful part of "Heat Wave." [8]

Vikram Joseph: I can't help but compare "Heat Wave" to another 2018 end-of-the-summer breakup song, namely Soccer Mommy's devastating "Scorpio Rising." On the latter, Sophie Allison envisions the summer as a crackling emotional funeral pyre; she's bruised and vulnerable, blaming herself ("I'm putting your hands to her heart") and leaving her blood out on the field with a sun-blistered, MSN Messenger screenname-worthy chorus ("Don't think of my life anywhere but in your arms tonight"). On "Heat Wave," Lindsey Jordan takes a more diffident approach, her languid vocals and the casual two-chord guitar chug of the verses evoking the sparse, sluggish dog days of school holidays, all shimmering heat and empty streets. The lyrics are mostly snapshots, hinting at some kind of action ("spending every weekend so far gone") but mostly just understatedly sad ("woke up in my clothes having dreamt of you") -- weary resignation is the take-home message, but the little piquant hints of genuine regret stick with you, too. The spiky guitar stabs between the verses are intensely reminiscent of Jeff Tweedy's playing on Wilco's A Ghost Is Born, and "Heat Wave" shares that album's sense of enervated ennui and arid discontent. "Scorpio Rising" hits me harder, but "Heat Wave" is just as real. [8]

Alfred Soto: Gangly and sparking like a live wire, "Heat Wave" shares elements with Waxahatchee's best work, at its best in the mid-song breakdown. "I'm not into sometimes," Snail Mail reminds the lover who she's sure regrets every mistake. [6]

Maxwell Cavaseno: "Heat Wave" is a banal tune that indulges amateurism and immaturity, mistaking them for liberation and comfort. It's not that Lindsay Jordan is terrible, it's that she is only conveying basic notions, yet somehow this bare modicum of fulfilment is positioned as comfort despite how empty and colorless it is. Perhaps one day Snail Mail will prove to have a spirit of adventure that would inspire people, but I'm utterly dismayed at another record that is meant to indulge a sense of fright, disdain and escapist nonsense for the sake of cheap pleasures. [2]

Tim de Reuse: Lindsey Jordan sounds world-weary and bitter in an all-consuming, archetypally teenage way; her words are blunt and carry the vivid weight of an endless, too-hot-to-think Sunday afternoon spent in self-pity and ennui. Unfortunately, the instrumentation doesn't really back her up. I'm a known sucker for the old I - IV - I - IV, but you can't just leave it there -- that's the bread, not the filling! The execution here has absolutely no sonic personality of its own, layering aggressively clean indie-rock open-stringed jangle over a tediously competent drum and bass section, and as a complement to Jordan's voice it's like sticking an impressionist masterpiece in a $60 IKEA frame. [6]

Ryo Miyauchi: This is a verse too long for a rather limited idea, but no matter how many people have written this same exact song in the past few decades, heartbreak from young love still hits raw when delivered in this sort of simple rhyme scheme through that bashful scream. It's a plus that Snail Mail shows off some guitar chops to shake it up a bit from what has already been said. [6]

Juan F. Carruyo: Last time someone this young was making waves in the rock realm it was Roddy Frame with High Land, High Rain, and it's not that much different this time out. More fuzzed out than the great Scot but retaining the melancholy mood, this track makes good on its 5 minute runtime. Dig the piercing guitar squalls that come up in each pre-chorus -- now that's a great hook. [7]

Kat Stevens: What's the betting David Lynch has already got this lot queued up for Twin Peaks series 4? [5]

Song of the Day 9/25/17: “Going So Low” - Plumtree

I started listening to Plumtree after watching Scott Pilgrim vs. the World because I was really into the song “Go!”. I enjoyed most of the songs off of Predicts the Future and thought it was a fun listen. I’ve been feeling mild angst lately, so Plumtree has been good for me. 

I like that “Going So Low” has so few lyrics and that they are vague enough to make them mean whatever I want them to mean. Today was a low day, so that’s why I picked this song. 

These posts are making me feel better about my days. Tomorrow I’m thinking I will focus on SALES or Angus & Julia Stone’s new album!
