On the second album by the pop trio, they streamline their J-Pop and hyper pop influences to create a one of the most stunning, well produced, and re-listenable pop albums in recent memory, all while providing subtle tongue and cheek criticism of collegiate and post-grad society.

You’re so mean! We are heading into the winter months and I live in NYC so those two things right there are making me extra cranky lately. ![]() It may or may not also be about shit (but true to form, the lyrics are muddy and my old battered ear drums can’t quite make them out). (One of Kurt Cobain’s early pre-Nirvana bands was called Fecal Matter, so it tracks influence wise.) My favorite track is the closer, “Brown Cloud,” it’ll dig right inside your brain with its mesmerizing Sting Ray bass line and gang vocals. Gross bodily secretions and hazards to breathing aside, this is some Bleach era shit and I can most definitely get behind that. Check them out here: April, May, June, September, October and November.įeces– Black Mold. Need a little sludge in your life?
