Nothing against Ariana Grande’s new album Sweetener, but I’m not a fan. It’s a little too slow and too, something I can’t put my finger on.
St. Lucia continues to pump out the melodic jams. “Bigger” only makes me more excited for the band’s next album.
I was expecting to be enthralled by Death Cab For Cutie’s new album, but after a few listens it’s a very slow burn. The band has always been great at slowly grinding a melody into your head, but on this release, the initial hooks are less obvious. Beyond “Gold Rush,” “When We Drive” is the next stand out hit and feel good summer song.
Dizzy’s Baby Teeth fills the roll I was expecting Death Cab’s album to. It is full of subtle melodies that sink their hooks in immediately. It’s an album full of, “oh, no, this is actually my favorite song.”
