Tourist History (Priscilla's Version)

[noodledragonsoups]

GAH I HAVE BEEN FREAKING LOVING THESE REALLY GOOD ALBUMS (and slightly smaller projects) RECENTLY

Disclaimer: I know nothing about ‘music’ formally, all this is just my opinions. :)

Stick Season (Forever) - Noah Kahan

Favorite track: The View Between Villages - Extended

Obviously, I had to put this one. It feels like being alone in the woods where you used to walk with someone you were close to. Noah’s vocals are powerful and unique, and his lyricism is just stellar. Forever is the superdeluxe release of the project (LONG, LIKE 30 SONGS LONG), with all the collab versions he did, an extended song and a song not found anywhere else.

When We Were Friends - The Backseat Lovers

Favorite track: Olivia

Found this one because of the track Kilby Girl, which is an absolute BANGER. The whole project presents a wide variety of songs that are all tied together under a really great mix of fast and slow songs all full of 2000’s-esque alt vocals.

Miracle EP - Tors

Favorite track: Happy Enough

So imagine if you took Lewis Capaldi and made him do music like Marcus Mumford. Double the tempo, replace the depression for longing. That’s what Tors sounds like, and I am going crazy for them. The whole project screams ‘coming of age.’

Tourist History - Two Door Cinema Club

Favorite track: What You Know

We’re entering a very different territory here, but it’s definitely still incredible. I won’t spoil them, I want it to be a surprise for those who go and check them out because they go absolutely freaking crazy. Don’t sleep on them, for sure.

Clancy - Twenty One Pilots

Favorite track: Oldies Station

I couldn’t help but close out with this one, my favorite album of the year and the release that marked the end of an incredible, 9-year era. This album is a fantastic blend of so many of TOP’s old sounds, meshing Vessel, Blurryface, and Trench so perfectly. True to their M.O, it’s chock-full of lore but that doesn’t make it unapproachable to a new fan. The topics they cover are especially personal for someone who grew up on them, things like growing up, healing, and fearing setback in progress all hit home. Definitely my favorite here and definitely would recommend it to anyone! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4obFOTwU7aJzsIpeA1fIpB?si=GBQvubRlRm-Eq_PfWHkidg&pi=u-J04Ek4CaRvKf

I put them all together in one playlist for anybody who is interested!

And she spoke words that would melt in your hands And she spoke words of wisdom

Undercover Martyn, Two Door Cinema Club

[stigmatamama]

A band I truly miss and only began listening to again is Two Door Cinema Club. Tourist History was definitely one of my top played albums in high school, and surprisingly it holds up today. Released in 2010, the 13 year old album definitely doesn’t hit the same way it did when I was listening to it in 2010-2013 times, but it still sends a familiar sense of warmth through my chest at points. Songs like Undercover Martyn, Do You Want It All?, and Cigarettes In The Theater all give me that familiar sense of warmth I remember from my first few listens of the album. This is definitely a huge iso vinyl wise and wish I had bought it back then. I am 90% sure I have the CD back in my childhood room but that’s for another year to deal with. This may be bold to say, but this may be a no skip album for me. Lyrics like “All because you want to be”, “Just keep talking on, tell me your favorite things.”, and “we’re gunna show the world something good can work.” All stand the test of time to me and they hold different meanings for me now.

🎵You would look a little better

Don't you know

If you just wore less make-up

But its hard to realize

When you're sky high

Fighting off the spaceships🎵

New song in likes.

This is a comment from the video on Watchers latest decision on Coffeezilla's side channel that just about sums up my opinion as well (video linked below the cut)

it kinda pisses me off when people dont gaf abt the area(s) they live in. like, youve lived here your whole life and you cant tell me where the cool places to hang are? the tourist traps? the nicest parks? interesting local history and geology? like its so sad to me... even if you find it dull and mundane there is still beauty to be found.....

Two Door Cinema Club // Come Back Home

This album changed everything for me in 2010 ( can’t believe it’s been that long 🥺) for some reason I was drawn back to it after all time 😭
