Robert Christgau gave Talk Tight an A grade, writing that “If you like the [guitar] effect—and why not, it’s beautiful—you’ll gravitate to it on sound alone. But what I’m loving at least as much is lyrics that suit the bright white male culture the sound implies.” He also compared the band’s sound to that of the Go-Betweens, a comparison that has also been made by critics like Stephen Deusner.]

On October 9, Domino Recording Company announced that Sasami had signed to their label, and officially released “Callous” alongside a new song titled “Not the Time”, premiered by The Fader, who called Sasami “rock’s next big thing.” Sasami stated, “I wrote both of these songs on tour on a guitar on my iPad with GarageBand plugins and Moog 15 app sounds and then re-recorded them in the studio onto tape with really great tones. So it’s kind of like emotionally scribbling a letter on a tear and snot-stained napkin and then re-writing it on fancy papyrus paper to make it look like you have your shit together.”[4] The songs were released on a 7” vinyl on October 26.

In January 2017, Le Bon released the four-track EP Rock Pool via Drag City.

from: Lately – EP / Both Sides Records – Polydor Records / March 22, 2019
[Celeste Waite is 24. She was born in Los Angeles, California. She left L.A. when she was three years old. With her my mother she moved to an area just on the outskirts of London, and then to Brighton when she was five years old. Brighton is an hour away from London on the train. Celeste told Interview Magazine in 2017, “It’s funny, because it’s such a good place to grow up when you’re a teenager because it is quite safe, really, so you can do all of that underage clubbing and go out when you’re 16. But by the time you get to 20, or even 18, you want more. It feels like quite a small place once you’ve lived here for a while, but the good thing about it is I’ve always felt free to just create and do what I want. There’s not real pressure to fit in and be something that you’re not. It’s always that you could do what you wanted to, in a good way.” She went on to say,”I think I really want to move to London, mainly because now I want to spend time in the studio more and I have, over the last few years, been traveling back and forth to London. I’ve made groups of friends there, so it feels like the natural thing to want to be there. But I think Brighton is always a place that I’ll come back to because it does feel really nice sometimes; when you’ve been feeling shitty then you come back and you can be near the ocean. There’s not a time of day where everyone’s rushing around because it’s not that kind of place.]

15. Miya Folick – “Thingamajig”
from: Premonitions / A Terrible Records – Interscope Release / October 26, 2018
[Los Angeles based musical artist writes: “Premonitions begins with “Thingamajig” — something you can’t quite recall the name of, but you know exactly what it means and what it feels like. Like the pull of desire that comes with not quite remembering fully. The magnetism of something just on the tip of your tongue. I wanted the album to feel like that thing. // I think a lot about about memory-making as an act of creation, the words we use to describe a memory give shape to and sometimes mutate the memory itself. I believe that the way we choose to describe the events of our lives is not only a means of creative fulfillment, but an absolutely vital part of creating the world we want to live in. When we are dishonest in the present, we create a dishonest future. When we are honest in the present, we create a more honest future. I wanted this album to be the vehicle for a hopeful, truthful, generous, and loving world. I tried not to posture or pretend. I wrote about my life as I’ve seen it and how I’d like to see it, as both memory and premonition. // The producers, Justin Raisen and Yves Rothman, and I spent months collecting organic sounds to fill the world of this record. We threw away everything that felt false and tried to keep the soul of each song alive. I hope Premonitions gives you comfort and joy. I hope it feels like all the mysterious details of your lives, all your massive and mundane glories. I hope it reminds you that there is beauty in the details. Rainbows in your sprinklers. Drinking water from a hose. The way it felt to make a friend for the first time. Locking yourself in a bathroom to avoid everyone. Dancing until your shins burn. Leaving your phone in an Uber and making your best friend drive you an hour away to knock on a stranger’s door after locating it on Find My Phone. Losing a friend. Losing yourself. Remembering.”]

16. Hop Along – “How Simple”
from: Bark Your Head Off, Dog / Saddle Creek / April 6, 2019
[Written over the course of 2016 and 2017 and recorded in the summer of the latter year by Frances Quinlan (songwriter/vocalist/rhythm guitar), Tyler Long (bass), Joe Reinhart (guitar), and Mark Quinlan (drums), Bark Your Head Off, Dog addresses disappointment, particularly in man’s misuse of power, and relates accounts from the periphery — one’s attempts to retreat from the lengthening shadows of tyrants, both historical and everyday. It considers what it’s like to cast off longheld and misguided perceptions, yet without the assurance of knowing what new ones will replace them. Much like on Hop Along’s first and second records, Get Disowned and Painted Shut, Quinlan seeks in real time to work through these issues. // Throughout the album, one gets the sense that Quinlan is wandering in the thicket of a forest—a state of being that will feel familiar to longtime listeners—and on this outing, she hasn’t left a trail of breadcrumbs behind her. The album’s artwork, which Quinlan painted herself, invites the listener into that forest, as well. “There is a terror in getting lost,” she says, “the woods are at the same time beautiful and horrifying.” This curious wandering gives the album, both lyrically and musically, a heightened dimensionality. // Bark Your Head Off, Dog is, without question, Hop Along’s most dynamic and textured record yet. Self-produced and recorded at The Headroom in Philadelphia by Reinhart and Kyle Pulley, Bark Your Head Off, Dog features the familiar sounds that have always made the band allergic to genre: grunge, folk, punk, and power pop all appear, with inspiration from ELO to Elvis Costello to ‘70s girl group vocal arrangements. This time around, they’ve added strings, more intricate rhythms, lush harmonies (featuring Thin Lips’ Chrissy Tashjian), along with a momentary visit with a vocoder. In more than one place, Mark Quinlan drums like he’s at a disco with Built to Spill. // Most significantly, Bark Your Head Off, Dog shows the band at its strongest and most cohesive. Hop Along (which originally began as Quinlan’s solo project under the moniker Hop Along, Queen Ansleis) has never sounded so deliberate, so balanced. “So strange to be shaped by such strange men” is a line that repeats on more than one song on the album. “I’ve been thinking about that a lot. That I just deferred to men throughout my life,” Quinlan says. “But by thinking you’re powerless, you’re really robbing yourself. I’m at a point in my life where I’m saying instead, ‘Well, what can I do?’” // Produced by Joe Reinhart and Hop Along // Written by Frances Quinlan and Hop Along (ASCAP) // Engineered by Kyle Pulley and Joe Reinhart at The Headroom in Philadelphia with Assistants Pat Quigley Ethan Farmer Ben Weiss // Mixed and Mastered by Ryan Schwabe .]
