Finally listened to the Sheer Mag 7"s, and I like them although they're more straightforward rock'n'roll than I was expecting. Nothing wrong with that, but I'd somehow gotten the impression they were more noise-rock or something. That wouldn't have necessarily been better, either, as I feel like 90's-style noise rock has been kinda done to death by now.
I like that Lightning Bolt album a lot. Best thing they've done in a really long time. I also like Tribulation, Tame Impala, Vince Staples, and Mastery. Mgla are pretty good, I guess, but I'm not quite sure what's supposedly so special about them.
Still need to hear Spray Paint, and I'm thinking I should check out Wand, too. A few others on there I'm not familiar with I should probably look into.
Did not like Levon Vincent or Shamir very much. Gotten pretty sick of Father John Misty. Can't bring myself to listen to Jamie xx.
