Green Mind was the major label debut (Sire) of Dinosaur Jr., in addition to their first without Lou Barlow (who founded Sebadoh shortly after.) This record is effectively a J.

DIRTY PROJECTORS SEVENTH STUDIO ALBUM, AND FIRST WITHOUT LONGTIME VOCALIST AMBER COFFMAN. Dave Longstreth assumes sole vocal duties on this album, and the resulting songs are deeply personal (said to be inspired by the dissolution of Dave and Amber’s long relationship) while still retaining the signature D.P. wit: “Now I’m listening to Kanye on the Taconic Parkway…
The self-titled 7th album from the Dirty Projectors was dark as the band had gone through a dramatic restructuring following the break-up of David Longstreth and bandmate Amber Coffman.

Much in the vein of classic horror OST s by John Carpenter, Disasterpeace (aka Rich Vreeland) crafts dark and ominous moods via creepy synths, distorted drones, and shrill sound effects.

If you could take a polaroid of your life… Drab Majesty began in earnest with Deb Demure (real name Andrew Clinco) experimenting with classic folk fingerpicked guitar stylings, eventually (somehow) modulating to the reverb-drenched new wave maximalism we recognize today: “The songwriting just kind of manifested. I really started to feel fairly removed from this…
