jeff rosenstock - worry.
japanese breakfast - psychopomp
the goon sax - up to anything
bj the chicago kid - in my mind
drowners - on desire

Think Townie got three of my four with Lambchop, Shauf, and Field Music. I'd also throw Cass McCombs - Mangy Love out as an album I really dug this year.

This is where I'm at. Dude is obviously a talented singer-songwriter and I liked the new record but I want to hear something different next time.

also is that jeff rosenstock album really stylized as "WORRY."? I kinda like "Worry." better. it looks more like a command that way.
Wikipedia says it's "Worry.", but P4K and his Bandcamp site say "WORRY."
yeah, I am #teamwiki this time around
edit: I guess the album cover is explicitly "WORRY." too. WHATEVER.

Isn't that kind of the same thing? I was never that into rap or hip hop but I'll take tribe called quest over anything in the last 5 years

Seeing as they put out a really great record a couple of months ago, that's really not as controversial of a point as it seems.

Accurate, just said the first thing that came to mind for "older" rap.

There is a lot of different sounding rap out there. Just bc you don't like some of it doesn't mean you won't like all of it. Living the in the A, I am really really tired of autotune trap. It's just so watered down and played out here at this point. But I like a lot of other stuff.
