Hey I have a podcast primarily focusing on Chicago artists across mediums, here are some recent episodes with Dorothy Carlos, Milo Christie, Taylor Payton and Jack Garland. Much more to come!
I've always felt BoC sounds like anime looks, and I'd say the styling matches the current day as much as it did in 1998. Still just as dreamy and melancholic, but far cleaner and more digital. Unflinchingly them. This album is their Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time.
Boards of Canada's Inferno is named Best New Music 🏆 The duo's wizardry has rarely felt more potent than it does on Inferno, their most welcoming and gratifying album since Geogaddi

@jetskitosway2 I agree, but I’d argue that we don’t know much about Bear’s life either. The only person we learn about throughout is Sarah, we even meet her Dad and see her arc with school. So when she’s a victim of the situation, it’s devastating. And it’s all Bear’s fault, which is the point.
@jetskitosway2 Saw Hokum recently and it felt psychedelic how dark it was, might be janky projector, could be cheap dumb movies. Genuinely tense in the theatre but the writing was just ass, feel like that’s the new MO. Excited for Backrooms though.
@mirandareinert Simon’s bar tenders are never nice and not even cool mean, just shitty. All of their drinks are too expensive for a ‘cheap old bar’, I’m taking Skylark every time.
Sonic Youth is the kind of band that's easy to hate in a reactionary way if you know little about them (quintessential NYC, arty, "cool," etc.) but then you dig into the catalog and it's like "no this really is one of the greatest American bands."
