Just Because (2019)
How do I have so many tapes from 2019 sitting around? I guess running out of new records to write about isn't completely a bad thing as it's forcing me to dig around through the unlistened to piles, but I kind of can't believe I have stuff this old that I never played.
I kind of wish I got to this earlier. While I could never say that anything on this tape is out of this world awesome, it has a handful of pretty solid songs on it. There's definitely a 90s slacker rock vibe to it, but in more of a midwestern crunchy way than a Pavement-y indie rock sound. For some reason I keep thinking about Armchair Martian (who are not really midwestern, I know) but with about half of the energy and a little more sloppy twang to them.
I'm not really sure what to make of it. I like it in parts, but it starts to feel a little repetitive as you move through the tape. I wish they were a little more energetic and punk rock in parts, but it's pretty enjoyable for the most part. A band with potential I think.
