Bela Salazar, Eloise Wong, Lucia de la Garza, and Mila de la Garza started The Linda Lindas at a young age, so even though this is the band’s third album in an 8-year career, their ages range from 16 to 21. Their musical sound continues to mature blending punk, pop punk, new wave, and surf rock sounds documenting the personal and the political.

Punisher

#PhoebeBridgers #punisher #2020rock #contemporaryfolk #folkrock #emo #indiefolk #indierock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Phoebe releases her critically acclaimed sophomore album on June 18, 2020 ... This one confirmed what we already knew from her first album -- Phoebe Bridgers is one of her generation's most vivid and devastating lyricists, blending indi-folk with ethereal dream pop. I mean .. look at the album cover.

#JoséGonzález

Ma façon de travailler, c’est de m’asseoir et d’écrire avec des accords complexes ou des arpèges étonnants, et à partir de cette démo, la chanson finale peut prendre des années. Donc oui, je suis un créateur lent.

Je pense que le fait de jouer de la guitare sèche permet aussi de rester calme. Il y a une part de méditation là-dedans.

This one's a blast, just came out yesterday. Big contender for me this year, already. This is 'Slab Songs' by ANYTIME COWBOY (illustrator Reuben Sawyer) from California. Lo-fi, catchy, weird, dark, simple, folk, sometimes jangly, twangy, post-punk, punchy. ffo early Beck, Adam Green (Moldy Peaches), Guided by Voices.

https://anytimecowboy.bandcamp.com/album/slab-songs

(Reuben's been doing the Anytime Cowboy thing for a while, and has a bunch of earlier stuff that I checked out too, but THIS record this year is TIGHT and really brings together everything great about what he does. 🔥)
