Subtitles section

Hey, hi, and hello everyone.

Anthony Fantano here.

Internet's busiest music nerd.

I hope you're doing well.

It's time for a weekly track roundup.

My thoughts, my opinions, my feelings on a bunch of songs that have dropped over the past week or so.

That is what we are about to do.

Get ready, brace yourself.

Oh yeah, it's coming.

Um, all the songs I talk about in this video are linked down below.

So you could check them out for yourself.

Also link down below our turntable lab link.

We get kicked back from it.

Oh yeah.

Heck yeah.

Also a Patreon page.

If you want to get some extra bonus monthly content while supporting us in the process and to continue shout out to our sponsor.

Oh yeah.

The good people over at the Ridge.

I'm getting double teamed over here by two of these wallets.

Oh my God.

Um, that's good enough.

Promo there.

Uh, link down below.

Promo code melon, 10% off the order.

That's all you gotta know.

All right.

Uh, also our YouTube shorts page.

We're almost at a hundred K over there.

Good times.

Awesome.

Nice, nice, nice.

All right.

Um, what else do we have?

Uh, worst tracks of the week?

Of course we have a couple of those.

They are as follows.

Bam, nothing.

What is even going on here?

Okay.

I fixed it.

Uh, first track over here comes from voices of fire.

Joy.

Unspeakable.

Uh, featuring Pharrell Williams.

So, you know, who, who clearly has a big hand in the production on this track.

Um, you know, look, uh, I I'm typically down for a hip hop gospel fusion.

Uh, but I feel like in this case it does not work.

Uh, the beat is annoying.

Pharrell's just overblown 808s I think are not really, you know, all that great for the dynamics of the, uh, choir.

And on top of it, the vocal samples in the background get really annoying, very fast, and it's a pretty long song.

Uh, so yeah, I just don't really feel like it, uh, it works.

It's kind of grating, uh, despite, uh, it's grand ambitions.

Uh, we also have a cover of paranoid Android, uh, from Avant metal outfit, Imperial triumphant, whose stuff I usually mess with really heavy.

Uh, you know, I've, I've celebrated this band's music on multiple occasions.

Uh, but I feel like this take on paranoid Android is just, just really not doing it for me, honestly, just very, very, very much not doing it for me.

I mean, some of those iconic guitar lines are in there in the mayhem and the abrasiveness, but beyond that, I just really don't think the cover has, uh, much going for it.

Uh, but Hey, you know, it's, it was an experiment and it was done and it was interesting.

Uh, moving on from there.

We have a new one from coil array as well, run it up, uh, you know, kind of a generic auto croon trap kind of song, uh, some kind of juice world vibes, I think coming off of a few vocal leads here and there that's,

That's pretty much it.

It's super basic, kind of underwhelming.

Uh, man, the tracks I was on, not super crazy about, but still thought that they were, uh, worth shouting out.

They are as follows.

Another track from this new weekend, uh, the idol soundtrack from the series.

Uh, this one has Susanna son on it.

Family.

Uh, it's got some dramatic chords on it, some dramatic vocal performances, but it feels like more of a vibe than a song.

It's not too much of a tune, honestly, really just a kind of a mood setter, I suppose.

Uh, we also have a new one, uh, over here from the one and only Victoria Monet on my mama.

Uh, I like the tune.

It's really sweet on the ears.

However, I think this track happens to be like so smooth to the point where it becomes kind of bland, unfortunately, uh, it is kind of a vibe though.

Uh, we also have a new one over here.

Oh man.

Oh man, the, the, the far East bedroom pop epic rock fans are going to go crazy for this one.

This one is turquoise death with Asian glow and, uh, Parnell on the feature, uh, for the song dive.

And, uh, yeah, you know, it it's over the top, it's grand, it's fuzzy.

It's lo-fi it is, uh, uh, on a kind of, you know, linear build.

But, uh, honestly, I feel like, uh, some of these tracks and these artists are starting to like force this very obvious and sort of cheap sense of meaning or meaningfulness into the music with like these very obvious.

Crescendo points, uh, much in the same way that, you know, kind of post-rock was at the point where it, uh, started to become like very, very, uh, boring because the formulas just got super stale.

And I feel like we've already kind of reached that point strangely, uh, very quickly, um, quicker than I would have hoped, honestly, considering how much promise we were starting to see, uh, right out of the gate,

Uh, with, uh, you know, um, some of these, you know, new band camp, uh, you know, uh, projects that were cropping up here and there, but, um, I don't know, but hopefully this, uh, collab is just kind of a one-off thing and we hear better and more ambitious and more,

You know, uh, I think, uh, forward-thinking stuff in the future.

Uh, we have a new one from trippy red, which I'm kind of surprised to hear him go in this direction.

It's, it's got a bit of a, uh, pop and R and B vibe to it.

Sky Morales was on the track, took my breath away, lovey dovey, romantic lyrics being thrown about a lot of topical focus.

Uh, it's, it's definitely a different kind of trippy red and, uh, you know, it's not the most amazing song in this vibe I've ever heard, but I'm, I'm liking it, I'm liking it.

It's, it's better than some of his, you know, just like really dumbed down lowest common denominator trap shit, where he's not really saying much of anything, he's, he's actually got kind of something going for himself here on this track,

Uh, even if it's not like, you know, perceived as a banger, uh, we tracks on it, how to live with yourself as one.

If you're looking for some very fuzzy and melodic pop punk, this is it.

Uh, we also have a new one from Dogecat who is back to rapping new rap type album on the way.

Uh, tension is our first taste of the record.

I like the spitting on the record.

Uh, the bass and drums are quite nice.

The groove is good.

Uh, however that, you know, kind of, uh, Zelda ocarina of time intro and chorus is not really so much for me.

However, uh, you know, I, I like hearing Doja in this lane.

It's better than that.

A super boring, washed out trap stuff.

We also have a new one from Cobra over here.

Suck.

Uh, it is danceable.

It is a very lewd and, um, you know, uh, prude steer clear of this one.

Um, you know, it's, it's not my favorite song of the year, but I respect that its intentions are direct and clear in terms of what it's about and what it wants you to do.

All right.

Uh, best tracks of the week.

We have a couple of those, actually quite a few of those there as follows.

Uh, we have a new one over here from an artist that I'm digging more and more.

The, the more that I hear them, it's a sugar pit compete.

And, uh, yeah, it's a post punky.

It's got some punchy drums, some spoken word vocals, some nasty bass, uh, some, you know, repeating themes through the lyrics that are very catchy and, uh, you know, spoken and almost like kind of a very cool,

Uh, somewhat snarky James Murphy sort of way I'm liking it.

I'm digging it.

I respect it.

Uh, compete again is the title of the track.

We have a new one from the forthcoming OCs record as well.

This one is, uh, titled goon and it's a goonish little piece of a punky garage rock with some, you know, crazy ass lead vocals, uh, some insane electronics laced into the track here and there as well.

It sounds like the band is, you know, making another, uh, uh, creative jump here, doing some weird stuff and keeping the garage world exciting.

We have a new track over here also from knocked loose.

If you're looking for some metalcore, if you look for some breakdowns, we've got a couple of brand new tracks from them, namely the song deep in the willow, which I thought was pretty fierce and fantastic,

Uh, also feeling that way about the new horrendous track over here, man, they are making some good ass death metal on here.

Some good ass progressive death metal with some, uh, you know, nice, creative, colorful guitar work.

Uh, performances that don't sound like, you know, overproduced or anything like that, it's, it's got like a, kind of a, a modern take on that classic death sound, you know, and in, in my opinion, I'm liking it a lot.

I'm liking it, liking it, liking it new album on the way.

Uh, the hives are back.

They've continued to be back.

Uh, this is our second taste of their forthcoming album over here.

Uh, the legendary punk and garage punk outfit, uh, making a bit of a comeback here, making a comeback countdown to shut down is the name of this one.

And it's got some riffs on it, brother.

It's a riffy one guy.

It's a riff, a diff, a diff, a ding dong.

It's a riff ado.

It's a riff riff, riff, riff, riff, riff, riff, riff.

That's it's got some riffs.

Check it out.

All right.

We have a new one from hemlock Springs over here who continues to be one of my favorite pop artists I've stumbled upon on the tick tock app heaven is the title of their new single here, and it's a sweet,

It is Cynthia.

It is catchy.

It is well-written and produced.

Uh, hemlock just keeps putting out banger singles.

Cannot wait to hear the album.

Uh, we also have a new one over here from group therapy.

Peak is the title of it.

As far as I can see, they're a trio and a, yeah, I just feel like they continue to show off a very wide, a variety of influences with the tracks that I'm hearing, you know, last, it was kind of like,

You know, some weird hip hop and post-punk stuff this time.

It's got some pop and alternative R and B fusions and some electronic bits too.

Uh, some cool vocal play between the various members of school.

It's cool.

It's sweet.

It's catchy.

It's, uh, you know, it's, it's, it's, uh, uh, the catchy and also eclectic.

Catchy and eclectic.

All right.

Uh, next we have a fleet foxes covering the strokes.

Uh, yeah, check that out.

Uh, it's actually one of my favorite stroke songs ever under control.

It's down there below.

Check it out.

And, uh, also shout out to code orange who've come through with a new single as well that I'm late to.

I, I, I listened to it a while ago.

I just forgot to mention it last week.

Uh, grooming my replacement is the title of it's got a good solid chorus, very heavy guitars, nice breakdown.

Um, I kind of missed the more electronic bits and stuff, but, uh, you know, it's not, it's still not too bad.

It's still not too, it's still pretty good.

I'm liking it.

A shout out to Bickel as well, who continues to drop these cute little homespun little pop tracks.

With some good vocal harmonies.

The fly is the title of this one.

Uh, it's a little skeletal at points, but I still think the song writing is solid and the beats good.

And, uh, the song, the singing is expressive.

I respect it.

I like it.

I think Bickel is doing some cool stuff.

And, uh, finally, a note knee has come through, uh, with a new project titled, uh, not project a song, a sliver of ice.

It is a beautiful little futuristic left field bit of soul, uh, with some loving lyrics, uh, devastating vocal performance, uh, awesome and a sweet, harmonious instrumental, uh, that matches the vibe of the song.

It's a quite moody overall.

And, uh, yeah, it's a beautiful cut.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, moving.

Cut and a new album.

Looking forward to it.

All right.
