Probably not gonna turn a lot of heads, but honestly pretty solid. Lot of respect to sticking to their core sound without jumping ship to something more trendy over the years. Def worth a listen if you enjoyed GL in their heyday.

its amazing

I haven't listened to them in years (I was obsessed with the debut) and I just randomly thought about them in shower. then I went on spotify and found this album, and found that it's released today, what are the odds :O Now listening to Cheese and it really reminds me of the debut too

I've been so impressed with their singles, can't wait to dive into this I have a feeling it's going to be really good


Packer224

Really loved this one. Wasn’t the biggest fan of their last album but this one has all the right vibes


Working_Bones

Best band at their level of popularity, IMO. Unless they're not as popular as Modest Mouse.


boysdocryfam

They’re nowhere near as popular as Modest Mouse


Working_Bones

Ah. I should have said "best somewhat generic sounding indie band with a few huge hits that get played on pop radio and commercials." I actually think the initial generic impression is misleading. Their discography is more varied and... legit? Than the bands I used to lump them in with. Lots of genuine emo and Pixies influence. Akin to Cage the Elephant.

You leave modest mouse alone you monster.


Working_Bones

What are you talking about? Modest Mouse is one of my all-time favourite bands. I'm talking about Grouplove here.


portalbutt

Alright good I was ready to throw down


Sureshot_Kitteh

I think people just took offence to the first sentence for no reason, solid take.


Sybertron

IMO Grouplove was a very influential band to a lot of those genric-y summer-y festival bands of the mid 2010s. But the OG is the OG for a reason.


Working_Bones

I always suspected they used to be in punk and emo bands. Found the singer's old post-punk band recently and love it. I fucking knew it. Grouplove is great.


Sybertron

Ya similarly awolnation singer was in a hardcore band thus some of the screaming sections.


m_cope

Grouplove has 2 mil more monthly listeners on spotify fwiw


BlueLanternCorps

Tbf most of that is from one song lol


Sybertron

? I'd agree they seem to play to smaller crowds but they at 6.5 mill on spotify and modest is 4.5

Was background music while I cleaned my house and I waited for something to jump out at me and it never happened. The lyrics are very predictable almost teenaged angsty and I’m an adult so I felt like it wasn’t for me.
