Rolling rock and indie-pop 2024

Lizzy McAlpine sure sounds like some of Phoebe Bridgers catalogue but not as good . Lizzy is in Dc for 2 shows at a 4000 or so seat arena and I decided to listen to her online to see what the big deal is

mk.gee is great despite the slowhand endorsement

we discussed him a bit on the “listening club” thread

Best straight-up indie rock album I’ve heard in months

I gotta hear that new Goat Girl. and La Luz album is incredible, somehow they keep getting better.

a few recent faves, incl. some late '23

Tomato Flower - Magdalene
Bloomsday - Dollar Slice
The Smashing Times - Burglary in Belvedere
The Bug Club - Marriage
Catbells - Leaves
Wishy - Too True -- there's a thread!
Tetchy - Voices

also new Friko album sounding good, though would be hard to beat IN_OUT

and going further back, somehow missed Central Heat Exchange even with a Living Hour feature - https://centralheatexchange.bandcamp.com/track/tulips-at-my-bedside-2

the new La Luz record is so fucking great, they do so many thing right, like they tap into that feeling of psychedelia without feeling like late 60s cosplay, they have such well crafted songs, and really beautiful ensemble group singing which is a lost art now.

no mention of this project anywhere on ILM that i can find, so i bring it to you, Rolling Rock and Indie-Pop Thread:

Very, very good album of DIY indie-pop + synth-pop.

been meaning to check it out. this is the guy from water from my eyes, right?

That's what I hear. Not familiar with them!

Yeah, this La Luz album is good.
