    The Concord was something majestic, almost unbelievable in its gravity-defying power, but it was also, in the end, a spectacular failure that was ended permanently in 2003.

    Their debut “for the first time” is equally as fantastic, it has a bit of maniac sound in how it’s composed like of lot of bands to have come out of the “windmill scene” at the time (black midi, BCNR, Squid)

    King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard discography is a fun one to dive into. They’ve released 24 studio albums after only forming in 2010. A whole of genres and sounds. I’d recommend starting with Nonagon Infinity and working your way from there.

    You can literally see his man shaking from the music orgasm at the end of Basketball Shoes.
    Also while I’m at it about the song, the verse “so if you see me looking strange with a fresh style I’m still not feeling that great” is followed up by a more upbeat Midwest emo section out of completely nowhere, then the final sections of the track are a full on mask off emotional breakdown, quite the meta commentary for one track. The Midwest emo section also includes lyrics talking about his sweater, maybe he’s got some new cottagecore/dark academia look with the big sweaters or whatever fits. it took me a lot of listens and readings to really catch this but now it’s hard to miss

    I have to strongly agree with the suggestion of Big Thief’s Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You. That was my AOTY 2022 but both BCNR Ants and Hellfire by black midi were close. Adrienne Lenker of Big Thief is my main guitar inspiration along with Daniel Rossen from Grizzly Bear.

    The final lines of the album “your generous loan to me, your crippling interest” is referring to the fans of the band. The fame and pressure drove the frontman Isaac to a deep depression, causing him to leave the band right before the release of this album. The “generous loan” is the fans giving them love and support and fame, but came at a cost. “Crippling interest”, like interest on a loan, but also the interest the fans/media took to the band, which ended up being so crippling to him he couldn’t take it anymore

    • @manmoth2238

    The lead singer, Isaac Wood, departed the band days before this album released for his mental health and well-being. But bc,nr has continued making music with several band member sharing lead vocals duties. I hope you react to their 3rd album Live from Bush Hall. It’s amazing and arguably rivals this album evening without Isaac.
