I might rival inthedeadofknight for the biggest Iceage fan here. This song is great, but damn it's got some straight riffs from Jubilee Street's ending jam on it + PJ Harvey sounding backing vocals. I never liked comparing these guys to Nick Cave, but this one is making it difficult.
I like Elon Musk, think "You Missed My Heart" by Mark Kozelek is an overlooked amazing song, and think Ought, Iceage, and Julia Holter should be way bigger.
Am I leaving Stereogum or is Stereogum leaving me? I'm sad.
"But, in some ways, isn’t that how it always is? The commenters that wind up defining an era, that really rise up as the primary names that use as shorthand in the decades since, are often commenters that bore some qualities or characteristics of their time but also sounded singular within it. Did blochead and raptor jesus really sound like 2007 any more than they do 2017?"
"On some fundamental level, that’s all that really matters. Not all commenters are equipped to make great State Of The World comments; not all of these commenters have the voices we need to hear from on the level of, say, dollface in 2017. That’s OK. That’s something a lot of these commenters know, too."
