Necking :: Still Exist
Punk rock women from Vancouver.
Abjects :: The Storm
Punk rock women from London.
CUP :: Soon Will Be Flood
Electronic experimental music from Brooklyn

Album Review: Better Oblivion Community Center
Album: Better Oblivion Community Center
Artist: Better Oblivion Community Center
Release Date: January 24, 2019
Favorite Tracks:
- Didn’t Know What I Was In For
- Dylan Thomas
- Dominos
Thoughts:
Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Obserst have made a career of collaborating with other artists, so it’s natural that they ended up working with one another. Their new album is ten tracks of indie folk rock with sweet harmonies. The pair of singer/songwriters invest the lyrics with raw emotion that holds out hope for redemption.
