Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Mitski's latest album, The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We is our Weekly Album Club discussion!!!
BUT - instead of doing 2 threads, let's just make this THE thread. Your job this week is to listen to her new album and share your thought here in this thread!
You have 1 week! Put yer good headphones on!
Calm album for driving aimlessly at night on desolate and endless boulevards, filling the silence between you and your partner while the intersection lights flash at regular intervals... there is a beach at the end of a side road somewhere. All is beautiful and delicate.
8.5/10 - Will absolutely revisit this album a lot. It could have been just a few minutes longer.
I definitely think it could've been longer. Not by adding more songs or more verses. But by having some longer instrumental sections, intros, and outros. Stuff that lets the song breathe for a bit. Some of the songs just felt a little cut short.
