today’s post is about a band that doesn’t get enough recognition. carissa’s wierd were a band formed in arizona, who also had ties to the music scene in the pacific northwest (pnw).

often touring with local bands (mostly of the hardcore variety), carissa’s wierd made a name for themselves by sharing music that was quiet, beautiful, intimate & brutal. later touring with scene mates modest mouse, carissa’s wierd gained a smaller but strong fanbase of heartbroken & forlorn enjoyers of the genre.

today, the band no longer exists but has spawned a successful act known as ‘band of horses’.

attached are some pictures of it raining sideways today & my favorite lyrics from one of my favorite songs by the group. i am also including the album artwork today, as i absolutely love the style the work conveys.

should listen to if you like this: Low, Mojave 3, Red House Painters

song: “You Should be Hated Here” by Carissa’s Wierd from ‘Songs About Leaving’ (2002; rereleased after catalog purchase in 2010)

Carissa's Wierd's "Songs About Leaving" is such a despondent album. The instrumentation is utterly lush, and accompanies some of the most dour and sarcastic songwriting that music in the States has seen - probably not outdone in the decades since they were on the scene.

I wonder sometimes what to do with my love for this band - on the one hand, their writing is very multi-faceted and there's a lot to pick up and learn from it, but on the other, it's utterly inconsolable, the way an angry lover would be. The theme of "leaving" on this album is metaphor for suicide; it's a feeling I'm moreso trying to pull my writing and my work away from recently, but in Carissa's Wierd, it captivates me.

Has anyone here ever heard of this band, or likes them, even? If so, I'd love to hear what you like about them. See if I can glean any new info that would help me come to a decision.

🐺🚩 Leo Alvarez 🚩🐺

got bored and decided to make a playlist for Leo from Echo. Most of this playlists consists of songs I think he likes intertwining with his overall relationship with Chase in terms of songwriting. Anyway enjoy!!

Sample Playlist

• My Boy - Twin Fantasy - Car Seat Headrest

• Never Meant - American Football

• Hell - Coma Cinema

• Cute Thing - Car Seat Headrest

• Michelle Pfeiffer - Ethel Cain

#ethel cain #alternative #gay #leo alvarez #music #playlist #echo vn #Leo echo #panchiko #car seat headrest #csh #Good Night & Good Morning #indie #shoegaze #american football #alex g #coma cinema #carissas wierd #I picked American football because Leo & Chase listened to a “cheesy” band in high school #so i chose a midwest emo band because alot of people frown on that as cringe and I just think thats fitting yk #Chunter #chase hunter #furry #Spotify

Honestly I listen to so much sad music, someone should pay me for it. I don't know maybe for digging deep into human emotions or sth. The truth is that sad music is actually addictive; pretty much like all sad things. And I guess I am an addict too.

seeing a band that means a lot to you on an incel/manipulator music compass is a fate i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy

#it's like the exact moment where a band's music isn't taken seriously anymore #saw carissa's wierd on one of these and almost puked
