What's Everyone Listening to?

Waxahatchee - St. Cloud

Out today. From the band's Bandcamp page:

ROOKIE is six matching jumpsuit-clad, shaggy-haired friends from Chicago who play rock ‘n’ roll that’s more at home next to their parents’ battered LPs than on their friends’ streaming playlists. Their self-titled, debut full-length album deftly reformats the classic rock landscape with blowtorch hooks, enthralling harmonies, evocative touches of cosmic country, and distinctively indie-minded songwriting.
ROOKIE’s modern take on timeless American rock ‘n’ roll pulls from all corners of the sonic map, it’s familiar but fresh, lived-in but blown-out. It’s the ’70s/’80s pop-rock sheen of Cheap Trick, 3-minute precision songwriting of Big Star, loose Neil Young Americana, and hazey, psych-flavored boogie of the Allman Brothers and Thin Lizzy. Though barely able to comfortably fit on most stages, once they’re plugged in and smooshed together it’s a potent blend of power chords, blistering leads, and performance prowess beyond their years.

Sounds a bit derivative at times, but, thanks to "I Can't Have You But I Want To", I have an idea how a Stones/Big Star collaboration might've sounded like.

Fucking loved it. That one-two punch of Achilles Last Stand and For Your Life sets the tone perfectly. And don't get me started on Tea for One...

I remember humid nights
I remember how the full moon tugs
How it used to make us fight
And the language of the bugs

I listen to a lot of Led Zep-pe-lin...

That song's a little too relevant today for my tastes. Eesh.

[UncleFrank1990]

My dad used to play this record a whole lot. So, I've been hearing it literally my whole life, and I don't think I'll ever get sick of it.

Based on the first two singles, this new American Aquarium album is going to be another step forward for a band that seems to just keep getting better.

If you told me a few years back that I would be far more excited for their new album than Isbell's, I would have laughed in your face. But, yeah, here we are.
