Welcome back to the new music dispatch.
Speaker 2:Whoop.
Speaker 1:I'm one of your hosts, the program director, Maggie.
Speaker 3:I am your other host, the music director, Sydney.
Speaker 1:We're back. We're back. Oh, with the new episode. We back. We back.
Speaker 1:This this might be a shorter episode. We just have a couple new tracks. Granted, we've added a lot. We kinda went back to past music Yeah. From over the summer and have added some some of our personal favorites definitely.
Speaker 1:A couple of these correlate with newer albums that were released. Just wanted to preface that's why we're kinda speed running this. I'm gonna kick it off the bat. Wednesday released a new album. Yippee.
Speaker 1:Yippee. Yes. Yippee. Wednesday released a new album about a little over a week ago, about a week ago. Week ago.
Speaker 1:Bleeds. I was I I'm a big Wednesday fan. I was very excited for this. It it I mean, you think alternative country and you're thinking Wednesday. So I I'm just really excited to get, like, this staple alternative band.
Speaker 1:Yes. Are they
Speaker 3:Chicago based band?
Speaker 1:No. One of the Carolinas. Oh. I think maybe maybe
Speaker 2:Somewhere. Of
Speaker 1:One of them. No. Not Midwest though. They are very like they're they're rooted in like this The Southern. Yes.
Speaker 1:The southern culture. Beautiful. Which definitely influences their music a lot. I love it.
Speaker 2:You can
Speaker 3:hear it
Speaker 1:most Yes. Yes. My Folky twang. That that folky twang. Off Bleeds, my favorite tracks were definitely Elderberry Wine, which was an ad that we have.
Speaker 1:Elderberry Wine, Wound Up Here by Holding On, Fish Pepsi, I love that one. And The Way Love Goes, those are my favorites. But for this week, we've added Wound Up Here and Elderberry Wine. Yes. Did you think of Elderberry Wine?
Speaker 3:I thought Elderberry Wine was so just folky and amazing and it just it made me feel it was it was a different feel than Wound Up Here was for me. Was I think Wound Up Here was more of a traditional kind of, you know, Wednesday sound. But I think Elderberry Wine was like a slower kind of more melodic like, oh my god, I'm like so happy to be here. Definitely. And like a little bit of lore drop.
Speaker 3:Wednesday was like actually the reason why I like even considered becoming music director because I remember us reviewing the past album Ratsaw God, think it was called. And I was like I fell in love with them like so much. So I'm so glad that we're reviewing their next album as I'm transitioning out
Speaker 2:of here, you know? Is kinda crazy. Witcher was one of those
Speaker 1:bands where I'm like, y'all are just making up band names. Like, what are you even talking about? And then I sat down and I listened to Rats All God and I was like Wow. Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3:Yeah. I even saw them perform at Pitchfork Music Festival.
Speaker 1:Jealous.
Speaker 3:And the lead singer was in these red heels and like this red lingerie with this white top and then what's his name? MJ Linderman came
Speaker 1:out and he's like, hey guys. I'm MJ Linderman.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he actually said that.
Speaker 3:He said, hi, guys. My name is
Speaker 2:MJ Linderman. And I went, okay. That's right.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Wound Up Here is more I feel like it's more in tune with their older sound. Elderberry wine, I mean, it it's a standout for me just because of its softer, more folk elements. Yeah. But I think the album does a great job of mixing their heavier, noisier sound with more intimate moments, which is, like, the way love goes.
Speaker 1:So I loved hearing it. My parasocial relationship with that band,
Speaker 2:it continues. So,
Speaker 1:yeah. Up next, we have a song that you really enjoy.
Speaker 3:Yes. This song is called Dance King by Saga Fey. I actually discovered Saga Fey, you know, like off of those what is it? The release radar things from, like, Spotify that they Oh, that's
Speaker 2:so cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't often find stuff off of there but when I do I'm like, oh, wait, this is kinda good. And this app, well, I don't know if it was an album or if it was an EP because I think it had not that many songs on it. But I just like the, this is just so girly pop. This song is so girly pop. It's like, I don't know, it has a dancing aspect to it.
Speaker 3:She's like, I drink too much to fall behind. Like it's just, I love it so much.
Speaker 1:Her voice, her vocals were so cute and sweet and that's kind of what drew me in.
Speaker 3:Yeah. That's all I got. No, it was, it's just actually like, it's like a really good song and I put it on my, I said my fall playlist but that was wrong. It's my winter playlist. Or actually no, just kidding, not winter, summer.
Speaker 3:It was my end of summer playlist and it just went so well with just transitioning into fall from the summer.
Speaker 1:Did you listen to the rest of the album?
Speaker 3:I did, but I was the biggest fan of Dance King because I just liked how it changed up at the end, or towards the middle, and how it kind of starts off really just simple in the beginning and then transitions into this different, more poppy, almost hyper pop but not really. But almost poppy kind of sound mixed with her vocals and everything, which I really enjoyed. Up next we have a song by Geese here called Taxes. What are your thoughts on taxes here? Well not your thoughts
Speaker 2:just on taxes right but this song. Oh I hate taxes.
Speaker 3:I love taxes
Speaker 2:so much.
Speaker 1:Love the Irish.
Speaker 3:They don't love me.
Speaker 1:Geese, geese, I like that impression. That was good. That's kinda what the song
Speaker 2:sounded Is
Speaker 3:that what a geese sounds like? They sound like honking here.
Speaker 2:You just did a duck.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Actually, you're Geese are like I was in the middle of the woods this weekend, and there was just literally one geese in the middle of the woods just hissing It at was like, what are you doing here? Like, the water was like maybe a ten minute flight away. Was like, you're a bit far from the lake right now, man.
Speaker 3:Oh, ten minute flight? That's like Taylor Swift level.
Speaker 2:I know. I know. Using using a ball them berries he ate. Making gas. Oh my god.
Speaker 2:Okay,
Speaker 1:but taxes, I listened to Geese for the first time this week because that's another band that I was like, y'all are just making band names up. I don't want to listen to these people.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 1:But they're the best
Speaker 3:when they make them up.
Speaker 1:But they're the best when they make them up. Like, I I saw an article that was like, Yees, like up and coming alt rock stars. I was like, okay, fine. I'll tune in. Oh my god.
Speaker 1:Genuine Chills from Texas specifically. It's their lead single off their new album Getting Killed. So Taxes came out over the summer, but the album just came out today as of recording, so a couple days ago as of listening. I love Taxes. I love it so much.
Speaker 1:I love, like, the drum part in the beginning. I love how the song transitions. Like, I get chills, like, you better come over with a crucifix. You're gonna have to nail me down. And then the way the music transforms, like, immediately after that, gorgeous, beautiful.
Speaker 1:I love it so much. I'm really, really looking forward to sitting down and tuning into this new album. And Cameron Winter's, like, vocal flips, the way the way he sings is just so intriguing. It did say take some coming around to for me personally, but once you come around to his vocal style, you'll learn to love it. It's it's something that you've never heard before.
Speaker 3:No. Like, quite literally. I would have to agree with you. I well first of all I want to say that wait when did you say it was your first time listening to geese?
Speaker 1:Two days ago.
Speaker 3:No it actually was not because at the basement like house party that we were at at our life music director's house. They played a Geese song there and Liam and the Scooters, is that what's the name of the
Speaker 2:The local band Liam and Scooter Band. Yeah. Scooter and Liam Band. Scooter and Liam Band, I think. Yeah.
Speaker 2:They played a
Speaker 3:Geese song, so that was actually
Speaker 2:the first time that you My played a Geese
Speaker 1:bad. But they didn't have those sweet, sweet Cameron Winter vocals.
Speaker 3:No, did
Speaker 1:not. They did not.
Speaker 3:They did not. It was definitely a cover, but
Speaker 2:Well stuff.
Speaker 3:But the first time I listened to Geese was out after their last release, their last album. It was pretty good. I actually really liked it. I liked they went like a real like twangy route with that one. I'm not sure if that's exactly what the same route was with this album but I really did like that and I did like Taxes.
Speaker 3:I like the the break in Taxes that you were talking about. It's really great and I also I kind of like the vocals. I mean they kind of grow on me. I like the vocals that are kind of a little like wonky little weird little little That's definitely Cameron Winter. So yeah Cameron Renters definitely gets an
Speaker 2:A plus from me.
Speaker 3:And up next we have Ama Rae. This comes off of the album Black Star by her and it is called Kiss Me Through the Phone with Pink Panthers.
Speaker 1:Love me something. I love
Speaker 3:Pink Panthers so much. Dee, I just would like to say that we have added a lot more Pink Panthers
Speaker 1:to Yeah. Got we got we probably got we added two tracks reaching her and two tracks off her album. So you might be hearing a lot of I added states stateside and Yes. You know, the classic in Two bangers. A favorite off the album.
Speaker 1:So I'm excited. But I really liked I liked hearing Pink with someone else. That that was that was the most intriguing thing to me was like what how how her style like can be influenced by someone else's. I've never personally have never listened to Amore so
Speaker 3:Okay. There's an album called Fountain Baby. You need to listen to that album. It is so good. Literally from top to bottom.
Speaker 3:My favorites. Okay. Like, actually the whole freaking album is good and I won't go too into depth on it because I will be able to talk about this forever. But my favorite songs off of that album are counterfeit and I think it's something like there's this one song where it has like because with even with this song Kiss Me Through The Phone, had it has like that hyper, not hyper pop but it has like this girly pop like vibe to it, know? Like where it's like you hear like the like the sense and the
Speaker 1:well sense is that what it's using?
Speaker 3:Yeah. Something something electronic in there with the drums and like all
Speaker 1:of this other type of
Speaker 3:stuff and then like also their vocals is very just like up here and it's
Speaker 2:just you know.
Speaker 3:Liked Yes and I I love that and she does that really like a lot in that Fountain Baby album and also with this Blackstar album which I know a lot of people were a little bit less like fans of because Fountain Baby was so good. But I think that this song or this album still is pretty good. Alright. And that was all for us today. We had a wonderful time, but we still need to make our dispatch decision currently.
Speaker 1:The dispatch decision.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:This was a quick little batch of ads.
Speaker 3:It was
Speaker 1:out of yours. Out of these few songs,
Speaker 2:what was your favorite?
Speaker 3:My favorite, that's such a good question. You know what? I actually would probably have to go with geese taxes. I really, really did like Even though, like, you know, I just, yes. It was just worth it.
Speaker 3:Yes, it was worth the dispatch decision for me. But what is your dispatch decision?
Speaker 1:I mean,
Speaker 2:geese taxes. It was worth the dispels. Two for two.
Speaker 3:We've never been two for two before.
Speaker 2:The first time we've agreed. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah. You guys just gotta listen to getting killed. You do. By Geese.
Speaker 2:You gotta listen to it.
Speaker 3:It's worth it.
Speaker 1:Yes. Really excited to tune tune into the rest of the album. This will be this will be huge
Speaker 2:for impact. 100%.
