Hug of Thunder has been released on the 7th, what did you think of it? Love it/ hate it? Favourite track? etc.
Feel free to discuss anything pertaining to the band as they are part of the awkward fringe between being popular enough to be known on /mu/ yet slightly more obscure than most /mu/core bands and so are relatively ignored, often skipped over in favour of more niche bands so it would seem (should you have any other hypothesis then feel free to share).

It's my new AOTY so far dethroning fleet foxes. It just bums me out that it probably won't get the recognition it deserves since Drake has become "the Toronto scene" and indie is all but dead.

It's the best straight rock album to come out thus far. Which is impressive because with a 7 year gap in between albums, this could have been the typical, the really shouldn't have, comeback album. My favourite track is vanity pail kids.
I think they as a band will always have a place in /mu/ heart because of how excellent YFIP was, but the old guard that adored them and pretty much the rest of the cancon early 00s pantheon is gone so discussion about them is increasingly more difficult to get off the ground.

Glad you like it, kinda strange how Feist seems to have eclipsed the band in popularity, still cool to see her collaborating with them.

It certainly looks that way.

First listen I wasn't that impressed even tho I'm a huge BSS fan but I'm gonna try it again soon

Feist was a bigger deal for a while but I think they've kinda settled into being about as popular as one another
>>73827625
Yeah it's a bummer
BSS is one of my favorite bands of all time but their best days are definitely behind them imo
Made it 6 tracks and turned it off.

Play it through a couple of times, surely you have the time to do so. no?
