The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

This album is a pleasant surprise for me! Their debut a few years ago was basic post-punk, which I liked, but it wasn't really special. This album takes that post-punk foundation and throws a bunch of other stuff at it and it works for me. Some really interesting stuff going on here. Check it out!

Listened to this album all weekend off this post. Vineyard in the North, in particular is a great track. I got a ton of Plastic Beach-era Gorillaz vibes throughout in a great way.

Yeah i can see the Plastic Beach comparison

The song Grifter's Grief (listening to it rn, thanks again for introducing me to this album). Sounds like a mix between Rhinestone Eyes and Empire Ants
