“I love a good hook but I only need to hear it once” – I love this sentiment. Dude is bursting with hooks and I’ll gladly take 50 of them stuffed into one record (like on Hypnic Jerks) over 10 repeated a few times.

I’m trying not to overdo it on the advance singles because I think this will be best enjoyed as a cohesive listen- but I love this gd band

I think the strength of this band is how they turn nostalgia against you. It makes so much sense that Frank Ocean would be into them as well.

Well obviously I’m going to listen to a song called “I Suck the Devil’s Dick.” That said, I really struggle with this “anti-genre” genre of music (ex: 100 Gecs) of which this kind of reminds me. I know this is where music is headed, and 22 year old Hartford would have been all about it, but mid-30s Hartford wants a more consistent commitment to the melody. Abrasiveness doesn’t bother me, but sometimes it feels like they’re trying to shove 1000 ideas into one song, and that usually doesn’t work for these ears. Anyways, I’ll probably come around and deny I ever said this – or I’ll get older and more close-minded and will only listen to 90s rock radio or something. TBD!

So much was expressed through very few revelations about the band member’s backgrounds, inspirations, or motivations. An unusual, but great interview. I’m into this alt-normcore mystique.

Their music fills a massive Voidz i’ve had in my heart ever since 2018. Love it.

Shocked they’re down to a trio, especially with their sound leveling up like this. Also Hypnos Jerks is one of the best guitar records from last decade

Spirit of the Beehive: *releases three insane, inspired, melodic, abrasive tracks*

Me: “this is some wild shit, man”

(really excited to listen to this whole thing soon)
