Can-O-Music Podcast

Paper Gliders released their first EP at the beginning of September and we were invited to review it. The EP is a culmination of influences and sounds from Fleet Foxes, the Cure, and Foster the People. The three distinct lead singers allow for very different variation from song to song especially when paired with melodic guitar, keyboard and bass parts. The dry mix keeps things clear, organized, and entertaining through the entire album. Patreon: www.patreon.com/canomusicpodcast Email & Requests canomusicpodcast@gmail.com

Our first episode back since the start of school. This week's episode deals with Death Cab's 2018 release Thank You For Today. It's full of throw back melodies and sounds from previous albums which is fitting as many of the lyrics discuss old relationships and the changing city of Seattle. Death Cab plays it safe with this solid indie pop album. Thanks for listening! Patreon: www.patreon.com/canomusicpodcast

Nostalgia dominants this short and sweet, Beach Boys inspired album by Kansas City's Shy Boys. Bell House is like if Of Montreal, the Beach Boys, Fleet Foxes, and the Shins all had a love child. What a great package of memorable, cute, dainty songs accompanied with memorable lyrics and great voices. Articles: https://shyboys.bandcamp.com/ Patreon: www.patreon.com/canomusicpodcast

Hike's latest EP titled Lilt could not be more satisfying. Humble lyrics about city and nature paired with harmonies that are rich with math rock and well-rehearsed hits are truly beautiful. This EP, a long with their other music, oozes talent without being over the stop, difficult to listen to, or tiring.

Wonder is the first worship album we've ever tackled. It was suggested by one of our Patrons. The album definitely maintains your typical worship sounds and styles with some progressive instrumental and lyrical moves. At 71 minutes long it's slow to develop and stays relatively stable. It's rounded out with messages of resurrection and love inspired by 90s nostalgia and wonder. Thanks for listening! Patreon: www.patreon.com/canomusicpodcast

It's not a 180 degree turn, but it's certainly a 90 degree turn in the Arctic Monkey's sound with their latest release Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino. It's an album based around the idea of "Lets go and write about another world in order to comment on this one." The social commentary regarding social media, government, relationships, and technology runs up and down the lyrics while paired with a lounge style, harmonically rich, low-key sound.

Sacred Hearts Club is Foster the People's third indie-pop/electronic album. Following their huge success of Pumped Up Kicks their albums have developed with an effort to not simply repeat the past. Sacred Hearts Club is no different, they build upon their sound from Supermodel, nod to Torches, and find some new things to try. With catchy and entertaining chord patterns paired with meaningful lyrics this is a pop album you don't want to miss out on.

We were wooed by Ed Sheeran's third album titled Divide. There's a lot of variety on the album and it quickly changes gears from at the bar dancing with the ladies, to sensitive songs about a perfect lover.

Pale Horses is a lyrically dense, and lyrically innovative album by the Pennsylvania-based band Mewithoutyou. The album features beautiful guitar parts, vocals stretched to various timbres, and dense lyrics.

In our words, Shrine is a delicious kale-smoothy, healthy, thick, and full of nutrients that will keep you healthily entertained and thoughtful. The Republic of Wolves returns to their "roots," with Shrine as they present a heavy, full-bodied, alternative rock/emo sound that is very similar to their first album Varuna. With our special guests David and Brittney the group reads an exclusive email from Mason (lead lyricist/vocalist) about the narrative that is behind this loose concept album. Thanks for listening!
