It was Hot, we stayed in the Water by the microphones is the original album of the trilogy, much more instrumentally similar to the Glow pt.2, even having the first “Glow song”. The three albums are supposed to represent the four elements: Fire, Water, Air & Earth. Glow pt. 2 is Fire, Mount Eerie is air and earth, and It Was Hot is water. Definitely should listen to it just to get the whole picture!!!
First, Crystal Castles, now this… What’s next Donuts? Girl With Basket of Fruit? HAQQ? Shaking the Habitual??? Thank you kind sir for spoiling us with these treats! ❤
Since you have now reacted to some Seattle Indie Albums from the early 2000s with the Microphones or Unwound I feel like I have the perfect recommendation for you if you want to check out an underrated masterpiece in that field. The album is Songs About Leaving by Carissa's Wierd. Interesting for you to know is that Carissa's Wierd shows up on Spotify in the "Fans also like" section for Have A Nice Life, Giles Corey, The Microphones and Mount Eerie. Songs about Leaving is really melancholic and what is so special about it is the extremely beautiful instrumentation. I would absolutely love to see so a reaction to this masterpiece
@@ichasedacrow2 btw I have great news for you! Today I was recommended a video of Brad Taste in Music reacting to it, seems like it was in a recent stream and the uncut reaction was uploaded this week
the other two dudes were Karl Blau, also from his home town and Kyle Field who records under the name Little Wings, both worth checking out in their own right.
someone else recommended carissa's wierd - songs about leaving and i wanna throw my hat in the ring for this album as well. one of the most emotionally potent albums of all time
recs: Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyles (Sick sounding early 90s math/indie rock, awesome guitar tone) Cap'n Jazz - Shmap'n Shmazz (The goats of midwest emo... the originators... I don't gotta say anything else. The album is the first 12 tracks of the compilation that's on Spotify btw, but you should also check out the Take On Me cover that's directly after the album in the tracklist, it's awesome) Swirlies - Blonder Tongue Audio Baton (GORGEOUS unique sounding early 90s shoegaze, sounds like mbv, pavement, guided by voices with twee pop mixed in, so awesome, better than Loveless imo) Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes (Unique folk-punk, early 80s college/alt rock, very catchy) Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque (Really catchy power pop, slightly shoegazey, same label as The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine) Quasi - Featuring "Birds" (Awesome Built to Spill-esque/Pacific Northwest indie rock, same label as Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Duster etc) The Breeders - Pod (Unique early 90s alt rock, Steve Albini prod, was in Kurt Cobain's top 3 albums of all time) Slint - Tweez (Sick late 80s post-hardcore/math rock, also Steve Albini prod) Pinback - Pinback (Very chill and creative late 90s indie rock) Modest Mouse - This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About (Amazing album, basically as good as The Lonesome Crowded West) The Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land (badass big-beat dance music) Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand (lovely 90's lo-fi) Hella - Hold Your Horse Is (Math Rock with the drummer from Death Grips, before he was in Death Grips) Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (Absolutely perfect 90's indie rock album)
It was hot, we stayed in the water is my favourite of the microphones albums - would love to see you react to the production on that thing. Also usual reminder to listen to wild is the wind - Nina Simone.
I listen to this album when I go on night walks. There’s also an episode of the podcast“Life of the Record” where Phil goes into detail about how this album was made. It’s really interesting stuff. P.S / EDIT: The artists other than Phil that appear on this record are fellow local musicians from Phil’s area. Kyle Field played the role of “Big Black Death” and Karl Blau wrote and performed the song of the vultures. Kyle Field has released music under the name “Little Wings” for decades. His song, “Fall Flood” inspired the melody for “Solar System” on this album. On that note, there’s a nice lil video of him and Phil playing “Solar System” together that you can find here on RU-vid. It’s a great vibe. Karl Blau, to my knowledge, just releases music under his own name. He’s got a song called “Fallin Rain” that I really dig.
Please check out Tortoise - Millions now Living will never die, its a post-rock classic, and one of the best, also please hit some Mogwai soon youll enjoy them, one of the best post-rock bands. As the Love countiues, Young Team and Happy Songs for Happy People would be great.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MY GUY a few recommendations: Ghosts of the Great Highway - Sun Kil Moon SMILE :D - Porter Robinson (pop-punk, pop, electronic) Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop) Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)
i love to see reactions to THAT part of the title track lol all the vocal work really makes u travel through all the universe man rec charly garcia - clics modernos
I recommend Clear Moon by Mount Eerie, ominous as fuck Also I love your reactions Mount Eerie is one of my favorite albums of all time and no one really reacts to it on RU-vid so thanks !
JOO Smags The Dare (the producer of “guess” by Charli XCX) has a new album out which I still heavily recommend even tho some call him a LCD sound system rip off as his production on some of these new tracks of him are insane And Fat Dog have their debut album out called “WOOF” which if you like “windmill core” (black midi, BCNR or Squid) you’re definitely in for a treat
You should check out the new album by Nada Surf. Kind of similar to death cab I suppose but with a more positive message and can sometimes Rock harder. Their new album Moon Mirror is so damn good!
smaggy have you heard the ethel cain cover of for sure by american football yet? also i know you didn’t fully fw remain in light, but i’d love to see you give talking heads another chance and react to fear of music and speaking in tongues
Day 3 of asking for The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads by Lift To Experience. Lovely and amazing, and I'll continue to say that it needs more love and notice.
