I've listened to this song so many times now that the opening riff makes me uncomfortable

@monstertdi Which song?
-
@nethernarwhal DNA Dump by EE
-
@monstertdi Is that a b side or from some separate EP?
-
@nethernarwhal Thaaat is a good question. It's not on spotify like a lot of their songs that are B-sides or region exclusives or whatever. The only video of it doesn't specify
-
@monstertdi Okay, so apparently it's from a Japan only EP released accompanying the single Schoolin' http://evevev.net/music/eps/schoolin-ep-japan
-
@nethernarwhal Schoolin' is like my fave song also I haven't heard number 2 oh man
-
@monstertdi I'd say my favourite by them is probably Cough Cough, some catchy drum work and very fun vocal harmonies on that one
-
@nethernarwhal I've probably called the majority of their songs my fave at one point, or at least listened to them on repeat. I'd probably feel silly for talking about them so much if I wasn't so genuinely captivated by them
-
@monstertdi I'm the same with some artists while on here, namely Death Grips
-
@nethernarwhal For a band I thought was very underground they do show up on my tumblr somewhat occassionally
-
@monstertdi They're in a way both popular and underground. The thing is that they never really marketed themselves and have been incredibly sporadic with the way they release their music, so nearly all their success has come from word of mouth. It's really just that, for the short time they were active, they managed to continually drop some of the most genre defying and boundary pushing music of the past few years that was both challenging to the listener and unique in its aesthetic. The group themselves adopted a very DIY aesthetic and seldom did any interviews, so there's a lot of mystique around their personas too. (Like, with the exception of drummer Zach Hill, they pretty much appeared out of nowhere). Fantastic group nonetheless though, I've been hyping on Jenny Death for some time now and I'm very happy it's confirmed.
-
@nethernarwhal I should probably check them out sometime really
-
@monstertdi I dunno if you'd like them or not, they can get pretty intense.
-
@nethernarwhal I tend to get proven wrong whenever I disregard a certain genre or style so I'd be willing to listen to any recommendations. Not now though
-
@monstertdi Though if interested, this was the song that got me into them and the song that turned a few of my friends onto their music. The hook is surprisingly catchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW9H1b7zXUY
-
@nethernarwhal Ah bugger it, I'll listen now
-
@monstertdi If you dig it I'd recommend hitting up their whole The Money Store album, it's generally regarded as their best
-
@nethernarwhal I'm not very fond of this one. Going by this song I feel like they'd have something I'd enjoy somewhere but I'm not really willing to find out
-
@monstertdi I kinda called it, I know your tastes fairly well and these guys don't really align with them
-
@nethernarwhal I swear I've only discussed like two bands I like with you. Besides my main playlist is pretty varied, I think so anyway
-
@monstertdi I sometimes like to talk about what I'm listening to on here, or give my quick thoughts on new records.
-
@nethernarwhal I never branch out much so I don't have a lot to say usually
-
@monstertdi I try to expose myself to as much as I can, well musicality anyway. I have a lot of shows to catch up on but I'm too busy being a weeb.
-
@nethernarwhal I wanna start Orange is the New Black, like, tomorrow. Sometime during my break at least.
-
@monstertdi I have a friend who loves that show and she showed me the first few episodes and it's actually pretty good, I'm probably gonna continue it when I get the chance.
-
@monstertdi LESBIANS
-
@nethernarwhal LESBIANS
-
@spoops What more could you ask for in a show?
-
@spoops We can totes talk about the lesbians and the mise en scene and stuff when I get around to watching it
-
@nethernarwhal ...more lesbians??
-
@monstertdi yes excellent
-
@spoops I'd like to assume there is an infinite lesbian chain of happiness
