To Force a Fate

Song in my head:
"Follow-Through Time" by the Reputation

Listened to Piano Man and the Stranger while doing laundry today. After being a Greatest Hits and 52nd Street fan of Billy Joel for a long time, I've found these albums to be as good. Piano Man has a lot of cool country tinges to it. The Stranger is really consistent. It's interesting that half of the record was released as singles.

I think I need to listen to more of Centro-matic's Love You Just the Same. I'm a huge fan of their stuff, but for some odd reason, I've never really checked out to this record. They're so prolific that it's a little hard to keep up with them. On top of that, Will released another solo record this year and then there's the side project South San Gabriel.

I was not sure where Deafheaven would go after another record that brought My Bloody Valentine and death metal fans together, but they beautifully rebooted their sound on Infinite Granite. The divisive goblin vocals are vastly pared-down here, as are the blast beats. Sounding more inspired by Slowdive, the band has discovered a new sonic palette that I hope they explore more of in the future. It’s a welcome revelation. I still love their older material, but this has renewed my love of what these gu...
