The whitest collection of new music.
huh?
Finest. Have Thelma Plum’s new track. Kamilaroi/Gamilaraaay/Gomeroi woman from the teeny, tiny NSW town of Delungra, now residing in the small country town of 2.5 million people, Brisbane, which is where the vid’s shot.
Always straight to the demographic tally-marking.
What’s a Penelope Lowenstein?
Well it’s not quite a horse, and it’s not quite a girl, but man… heheheh
So, to answer your question, I don’t know.
I have no idea if Horsegirl is any good, but is highlighting competent bass playing and a drummer using a ride cymbal REALLY the best selling point?
Why would anyone claim I need to hear a new Weezer album?
Weezer is what you have to suffer through to see the band you actually came for.
Yeah, and everyone came to see Hoobastank.
Horsegirl is soooooooooo good. They’ve got about half an hour’s worth of singles up on streaming over the past few years, and I compiled them into a playlist called “The Horsegirl Album” not knowing if an actual album was coming, so this is super news.
I’m digging Angel Olsen since her last album and I can’t wait for this new one. She took awhile to grow on me but I’m loving her evolution. Can’t wait to also see her in concert with Sharon Van Etten in August.
