With all of these bands that I love releasing albums practically back to back recently, the fact that Wallows dropped their third full length album, Model, last week with basically no promotion came as quite a surprise to me. A pleasant one, but still. Even though I follow them on social media, I must not be in the know enough for eavesdropping advertising or just straight up fan posts to fall through the cracks and into my feeds.

ATEEZ – Golden Hour: Part 1, Mini Album Review
In my limited world of K-pop, I might have fallen for ATEEZ last, but I definitely fell for them the hardest. A lot of that might have to do with how accessible they still seem to fans despite their rising fame, but they also have a ton of great songs!
Read moretwenty one pilots – Clancy, Album Review
I’m going to be totally honest here, Scaled and Icy was a huge letdown of an album for me from a band that hadn’t disappointed prior. Of course that means I was going to walk into Clancy with a bit of trepidation. But I was a fool for thinking that way! Twenty One Pilots have rounded out this era with certified hits.
Read moreCage the Elephant – Neon Pill, Album Review
It’s absolutely bonkers to me that it’s been five years since Cage the Elephant released Social Cues, one of my favorite records from that year, but we’ve finally been given new music with the likes of Neon Pill. And a tour!
Read moreThe Black Keys – Ohio Players, Album Review
Even though The Black Keys are one of Ohio’s most celebrated bands, I’ve never really given a lot of their work much attention. The fact that I’m still thinking about Let’s Rock when they’ve released three albums since then means I don’t really keep up. But, in searching the internet for 2024 musical releases, I was pretty pleased to see their newest work was to be titled Ohio Players and knew I would be checking it out.
Read moreVampire Weekend – Only God Was Above Us, Album Review
I will say, despite my love for a lot of Vampire Weekend songs, their albums as a whole have never quite landed with me. Sadly, the same can be said for their latest full-length effort, Only God Was Above Us.
Read moreMGMT – Loss of Life, Album Review
I had no clue I was going to get so many new albums this early in the year! In fact, MGMT stayed pretty darn quiet about. It’s also crazy when I think about how long it’s been since Little Dark Age was released. But now, we have been given Loss of Life on their new label, Mom + Pop!
Read moreIDKHOW – Gloom Division, Album Review
Given that I was in another country last weekend, I did not have the opportunity to immediately listen to I Don’t Know How But They Found Me’s newest album, Gloom Division. And this is an album I was pretty excited about!
Read moreDeclan McKenna – What Happened to the Beach?, Album Review
I feel kind of like a fool that I didn’t realize Declan McKenna’s new album came out this past weekend! Based off two strong singles, I was really excited to hear the rest of What Happened to the Beach?! And to my delight, it was just as good as I’d hoped!

Don Broco sure does make it impossible for my love of them to flag. Not that I’m complaining!
