Damn, instantly felt pulled in by the drums on Ever. Unleashing her voice in the chorus gave me chills. References are spot on @mindtrappa.

ETA - ok Obvious is huge!? It's like a lost Michelle Branch song from a lost American Pie movie soundtrack.

 

[man.tis.shrimp]

Mmm yes, actually!

 

[Tiger Suit]

Love this duo - got recommended their EP on Spotify a couple of weeks ago and have been obsessed with Ever since

 

[aux]

I’m high-key in love with “Ever” and “Obvious” - they perfectly scratch an itch I’ve had for this sound. Thanks for the tag @mindtrappa!

@Serg. this should be right up your alley.

 

[Andy French]

Yeah the EP is fantastic. I'm gobsmacked at how well it captures the "vibe" of 2002-04 alt-pop, to the point where I highkey had a couple of Anton Ego-style flashback moments ddd. Get them on a joint tour with crushed immediately.

@Crisp X you'll love this.

‘Ever’ music video

 

[mindtrappa]

There’s something vaguely “Truly Madly Deeply” coded about the verses on “Ever”

Not this EP hitting me in the same way Hatchie's debut EP did in that "could've been in an episode of Dawson's Creek" (highly complimentary) way. Obvious is a smash. @ohnostalgia @Babyface @klow @superultra @swim

Setting me up to steal another PJSC entry from you i see

 

[minorkey]

I see the vision but the songs are still merely moodboards for me, not a lot to sink my teeth into. But they have plenty of time to fine tune their craft. The video with the letterboxed 4:3 aspect ratio is a scream.

 

[X/S]

Ooh I was literally thinking of making this thread myself so thank you @mindtrappa ddd

300 Dreams is probably my favorite song of the year so far. Just so effortless. From their early singles, The Dove is also divine:



There's a short interview with them on Nina as well if anyone is interested: https://www.ninaprotocol.com/articles/after-300-dreams

 

[minorkey]

Oh so they're American, that's why the cosplay feels a bit off ddd. Gotta be European for this sound to fully hit I fear. They remind me of The Honeymoon, real ones remember.

[minorkey]

Most of their references are European acts, and this is what I call cold weather music. You gotta suffer through miserable weather to make this sound ring true, plus the nostalgia of growing up on MTV/radio playing these genres etc. It's like... America can't produce a beabadoobee or a pinkpantheress.

Gonna check them out later! Seems right up my alley; thanks for the tag!

I somehow wasn't notified of this mention, so I saw this by chance fff.

Mama... this is excellent.

Girl, half of America suffers more miserable weather (brutal winters) than Europeans! I genuinely didn't know beabadoobee wasn't American, though, so consider me educated dd *shocked pikachu*

The “Ever” video… This is for the Linda Geiman girlies.
