First Listen, Part Two: New Releases for March 4
And here we go with the other half! Co-Album of the Week : Artist : Thao and the Get Down Stay Down Album : A Man Alive Quick Description : Latest album by the criminally underrated indie rock act. Why You Should Listen : It's an album that deserves a lot of attention and not to get overlooked. Overall Thoughts : I was a latecomer of sorts to Thao Nguyen. Her songwriting didn't grab me right away with her "breakout" of sorts, "Bag of Hammers," but every album she's done since then has improved on the blueprint she brings, and A Man Alive might be the best one yet. It takes some time to truly get off the ground, but by the time "Nobody Dies" hits I was completely and totally on board. It's a challenging record, for sure, but in a good way - if you're not a fan yet, this album might take a few spins to get you on the bandwagon, but I promise there's plenty of room. This is a great release. Recommendation : Awesome album ...
