#Sonder ep

[5ond3r]

the negative reviews on last night's episode boil down to

[permanentreverie]

yall dermot kennedy’s new releases are SO good im chewing glass

[herethereverywhere]

in love with the story that blood in the bayou is weaving already. this story of leaving and being left behind, of things best left unsaid but never forgotten. of responsibility and promises never fulfilled and where blame is cast when things can’t be understood. this story of three friends who have never been closer together but further apart.

note : sorry ive been inactive as hell w actual hcs or like. real works LMAOO i have been #depressed and #unmotivated LoL! anyways pls tell me u can see suna's influence on iwaizumi i hc that they r friends <33

oikawa tooru :

!!? KALI UCHIS STAN NEVER SPEAK 2 ME AGAIN. he LOVESSS her he is completely convinced isolation was specifically made to cater to him and his exact music taste delusional king fr!! and he gatekeeps her SO HARD like babes as much as i would like to be her top listener too, the 21,158,866 monthly listeners seem like they might be hard to beat 🤔

his favourite songs by kali uchis are :

tyrant - ft. jorgia smith on the isolation album.

i wish you roses (single).

loner on the por vida album.

!!? this artist is not a guilty pleasure no matter how many times he says he's sooo embarrassed he likes carly rae jepson. "omg stop don't tell people i like her that's humiliating omg stop i don't want people to know!!!!!!" he is a LIAR. he will publicly scream every single lyric to every single song she makes, IN FACT he will shamefully make tiktoks on public buses and shit, lip syncing to her songs on full volume (or at least he would if literally all of seijoh didn't tell him to shut the fuck up LMAO)

his favourite songs by carly rae jepson are :

call me maybe on the kiss album.

boy problems on the E•MO•TION album.

felt this way on the dedicated side b album.

!!? —✩⌗ HONORABLE SONG MENTIONS : good days by SZA. heart to heart by mac de marco. oh no! by marina and the diamonds. conceited by flo milli.

iwaizumi hajime :

!!? UGH ANOTHER AMAZING PERFECT TYLER THE CREATOR STAN. OOH I WANNA KISS ALL TYLER FANS ON THE HEAD I FREQUENTLY MAKE OUT W EVERY TYLER FAN EVER!! he's a very loyal listener, he knew him on vine bro like i said in pt 1, he introduced him to suna (while suna takes all the credit lol) he might even have a slight... fixation.. one might call it a.... crush.... but he will never admit it his ego is too big!!

his favourite songs by tyler the creator are :

A BOY IS A GUN on the IGOR album.

garden shed - ft. estelle on the flower boy album.

SWEET / I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE - ft. brent faiyaz and fana hues on the CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST album.

!!? is it controversial to say he fucks w ice spice.. almost a little too much... he knows all the lyrics to munch which is def something he has in common with oikawa's music taste!!! like at this point they're like pavlov's dog, they are absolutely salivating every single time they hear "stop playin with em riot!"

his favourite songs by ice spice are :

bikini bottom (single).

princess diana on the like..? EP.

in ha mood (single).

!!?—✩⌗ HONORABLE SONG MENTIONS : she likes another boy by oscar lang. attention by new jeans. just a stranger by kali uchis and steve lacy. NASA by ariana grande.

matsukawa issei :

!!? unlike iwaizumi, he will admit his huge crush on brent faiyaz with his ENTIRE CHEST. brent faiyaz his love, his one and only (i am projecting!) <3 most of the content he consumes is brent faiyaz related tbh the algorithm knows him too well and before you ask the burning question on your mind, YES he did almost start a stan twitter in year one!!! makki will never let him live it down as if he didn't ACTUALLY start one for bruno mars..

his favourite songs by brent faiyaz are :

ADDICTIONS on the WASTELAND album.

what you heard (single) by sonder - technically still brent faiyaz.

talk 2 u on the sonder son album.

!!? he really should be ashamed he likes drake tbh. he physically could not compell himself to show anybody his spotify wrapped because almost all drake songs were in his top played. please never ever speak to him about the time he genuinely ugly cried to one dance. he will never elaborate and will probably go and sob to god's plan next.

his favourite songs by drake are :

way 2 sexy - ft. future and young thug on the certified lover boy album.

9 on the views album.

circo loco on the her loss album.

!!?—✩⌗ HONORABLE SONG MENTIONS : love is only a feeling by joey bada$$. small worlds by mac miller. awkward by SZA. finesse (remix) by bruno mars and cardi b.

hanamaki takahiro :

!!? ACTIVELY PUSHING THE MAKKI BRUNO MARS AGENDA!! fuck an evening with silk sonic he wants an evening with bruno 😭 all he is doing every day all day is praying bruno gets his heart broken again so he can drop another DELECTIBLE album!!!!! also him and iwa like to say that since makki is puerto rican and iwa is filipino, together they make one bruno mars <333 (this is a hc dont take it too srsly lol)

his favourite songs by bruno mars are :

that's what i like on the 24k magic album.

treasure on the unorthodox jukebox album.

after last night (with thunder cats & bootsy collins) on the an evening with silk sonic album.

!!? he is a dork and i am a dork soooo i'm gonna have to say he is a the living tombstone stan.... oikawa will go on full rants about how cringey 2020 was and how weird that video game animatronic type music is and he'll look over at makki and see the single tear roll down his face as he says he has no idea the music genre he's talking about 😭

his favourite songs by the living tombstone are :

my ordinary life (single).

drunk on the zero_one album.

jump up, super star! (single).

Usually I post these on the weekend. I didn’t forget, I just haven’t had the time to put it together.

good kid, m.A.A.d city making history as the first Hip-Hop album to stay on the Billboard for 10 years straight is amazing. It was already amazing that the album was an instant classic when it was released. But I must say, I’ve always hated the purple van deluxe album cover. Granted, the car is apart of the story being told on the album. But to me, the standard album (as you see in this post) is one of the hardest album covers of all-time.

Brent Faiyaz music is amazing. And he further proves that with the Sonder EP. One day, he’ll get his credit from the masses for his catalog.

Debbie’s Cherry Wine sound like a VanJess song to me, for whatever reason. This is the only song I’ve heard from her, and it’s great. I’ll definitely check out more of her stuff when I get the chance.

“Your shit ain’t never gonna pop like 10 gold chains, that’s why your bitch blowin’ on me like Nintendo games. I ain’t surprised, most of these hoes been the same since school. Doing more bending over than a game of pool.” -PLK

[queenoferdas]

is there a band/musician you recommend to everyone? Do you think you’re a good driver? Do you have a favorite word?

I literally tell everyone to listen to The Wrecks. I love The Wrecks. I've never seen them live because I live in Aus and they're American, and while they have a following they do not have a following big enough to fund a world tour, and my bank account isn't big enough to fund a trip to the states solely for them. When I do tho, it will be the first thing I do.

See, I haven't actually gotten my license yet. I'm still getting my hours for it. But right now, I am a pretty good driver. I'm like, pretty fucking good. Parking isn't perfect, and I'm not as confident driving fast, but I've still got a lot of practice to go and hours to get and my test is in October anyway so I do have some time to get everything worked out.

The Wrecks have a very distinct sound. And they've, specifically Nick Anderson who writes, sings, and produces their songs, gotten more confident and experimental, and you can tell by comparing their first ep with the added songs on the deluxe version of their last album, but even by comparing their two albums, Sonder is a lot braver than Infinitely Ordinary was. It's still mostly break-up songs, but, they convey deeper emotions. It's even evident in Good Boy Daisy's earlier songs, where Nick was featured as their producer, and you can tell that that song is a Nick Anderson song. It's like a narrative voice, but for music.

I like the word skedaddle.

The Wrecks' main genre is pop punk. And they cover every crevice that can be found between those two genres. I cannot keep recommending them. They are spectacular. They are fantastic. They are buy a ticket for a live show and watch it during your breaks in a McDonald's crew room level of amazing.

Cerulean Counter-Sonder

Inspiration: Naden - Sonder EP

[permanentreverie]

album ask game for Mike Dean Presents: Dermot Kennedy, or if that's too weird/old, Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers

not too weird or old at all!! I'm assuming you're talking about his 2019 EP? I actually prefer that era of his music over Sonder lol (I'm going to be excluding any of the songs that are in Without Fear)

Dermot Kennedy:

my favourite lyric: 'now when I'm face to face with Death, I'll grab his throat and ask him "how does it hurt?"'

my favourite song: for island fires and family

the song that makes me cry: after rain

the song that’s a fucking bop: glory

the song i most dislike/least love: young & free

Punisher:

my favourite lyric: 'the doctor put her hands over my liver, she told me my resentment was getting smaller'

my favourite song: ICU

the song that makes me cry: punisher / halloween

the song that’s a fucking bop: kyoto / I know the end

the song i most dislike/least love: moon song

send me an album and I'll tell you!

hello riptiders um . is now a good time to offer you dear arkansas daughter as a ferin sisters + lizzie song

Music I Liked in 2022

Every year I reflect on the pop culture I enjoyed and put it in some sort of order.

2022 was a good music year, alt/indie rock-wise, anyway. I found that each season brought a different favorite, so much like last year, trying to rank them would be quite arbitrary. Once again, I’ve put my recommendations into three tiers as well as a couple bonus categories for further listening.

Here’s a playlist of songs from my top 15(ish) records for your sampling pleasure:

Tier 3: Worth A Listen

Belle and Sebastian – A Bit Of Previous

A quite catchy and fun return-to-form from the Scottish indie rockers.

Dayglow – People In Motion

For his second record in as many years, Sloan Struble leans back into the electropop of his debut, resulting in the poppiest and most consistent Dayglow release yet.

Dermot Kennedy – Sonder

While not quite as folk-inflected as his debut, Kennedy’s sophomore full-length is a solid and soulful collection of lovelorn pop jams.

First Aid Kit – Palomino

Sweden’s Söderberg sisters latest LP features a great collection of sweeping pop anthems and lush harmonies.

PUP – THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND

This record from Canada’s PUP is a super meta and darkly comic blast of pop-punk energy, featuring imagined meetings with record executives and existential ruminations on life as a professional musician.

Tier 2: Appointment Listening

Anaïs Mitchell – Anaïs Mitchell and Bonny Light Horseman – Rolling Golden Holy

Hadestown creator Anaïs Mitchell had a busy year, releasing her first solo album in almost a decade in January and then a sophomore album with Bonny Light Horseman in October. Both are lovely collections of poetic folk-rock.

Beach Bunny – Emotional Creature

Following up on 2021’s excellent Blame Game EP, the second full-length from Beach Bunny is a great mix of pop-rock tunes, by turns introspective and propulsive.

Metric – Formentera

The latest from synth-rock powerhouse Metric is another excellent blend of indelible hooks and Emily Haines’ reflective lyrics.

Spoon – Lucifer On The Sofa

I’m not a Spoon megafan, but their latest record is an undeniable mix of rootsy guitar riffs and grooves that stands with the best of their catalog.

Tall Heights – Juniors

Juniors is a bit more pop-oriented and less folky than their previous efforts without losing their signature transportive soundscapes.

Tier 1: Highest Recommendation

Alex G – God Save The Animals

A fully-realized synthesis of Alex G’s most melodic songwriting and quirkier impulses, God Save The Animals ruminates on subjects of faith, love, and the beauty and darkness of the human condition. As compelling and mysterious as ever.

Bartees Strange – Farm To Table

The sophomore LP from idiosyncratic singer/songwriter/guitarist Bartees Strange is an adventurous fusion of styles and influences, with affecting personal lyrics including reflections on subjects including his experience as a military brat, the pandemic and the death of George Floyd.

beabadoobee – Beatopia

A lovely bedroom pop record that recalls female-fronted 90s dream pop and alt-rock, Beatopia feels both familiar and fresh, like making a new friend you feel like you’ve known forever.

Stars – From Capelton Hill

Very much a pandemic record, the latest from Canada’s Stars is nonetheless beautiful and moving, with resonant themes of loss, isolation, connection, and through it all, the slightest glimmers of hope.

The Wombats – Fix Yourself, Not The World and Is This What It Feels Like To Feel Like This? EP

I hadn’t fully connected with Liverpool’s Wombats before, but their latest full-length caught my attention with a collection of hook-laden tunes evocative of the 90s Britpop explosion’s best. The companion EP from later in the year is no less catchy or popsmart.

BONUS! Other Favorite EPs of the Year

Khruangbin & Leon Bridges – Texas Moon

Following on their Texas Sun EP from 2020, Khruangbin and Leon Bridges’ latest collaboration is another smooth collection of tuneful psych-rock, culminating in personal song-of-the-year contender “Mariella.”

Of Monsters and Men – Tíu

I’ve fallen off on OMAM a bit over the past few years, but this EP commemorating the 10th anniversary of their debut is a compelling reminder of what makes them special.

DOUBLE BONUS! Streaming-Only Albums

So, I’m very much an outlier in how I listen to music, preferring to buy physical copies of albums rather than paying for streaming services. As such, I use the likes of Spotify mainly to preview records before purchasing from the artists and since its free version only allows shuffle mode on mobile devices, I end up not spending as much time with albums I don’t own.

I really like each of these records but as I hold out hope for CDs or vinyl someday, I have yet to buy digital versions and haven’t listened enough to slot them among the other picks above.

The Big Pink – The Love That’s Ours

Ethel Cain – Preacher’s Daughter

Gungor – Love Song to Life

John Van Deusen – (I Am) Origami Pt. 4 – Marathon Daze

Taxes – Retirement Home
