#ive got tickets to see the mountain goats and lucy dacus later this year

[despite-everything]

ngl i'm super curious about the full lucy dacus album being released friday. i'm into the tracks she's released so far, but kinda miss the grungier tones / lofi influence on her no burden album, but am interested in the direction she's heading with tracks like brando. lorde's new solar power track is headed in a similar direction, which i think is fascinating. i suppose it makes sense as these women grow older and more confident in themselves, but it's an interesting parallel. i'd pre-ordered lucy dacus', bob schneider's, and the mountain goats' new albums coming out this summer, and the mountain goats' arrived this past friday (though the official release is also this friday) and i really like it. i enjoyed getting into knives, but really appreciated the sense of calm throughout this album. i wonder if they're going to do another angstier album like talahasse in the future (though ngl i'd love for them to explore something conceptually to the degree they did with goths - writing an indie rock/folk album with pop influences about goth music? fucking brilliant). also looking forward to the new squirrel flower album. anyway i'm just rambling... i worked from home today so i was playing music from my computer rather than spinning records or listening to the live stream at the station, and i'm also thinking about reaching out to john darnielle for an interview. hmm.
