And welcome to no filler. The music podcast dedicated to sharing the often overlooked hidden gyms to fill the space between the singles on our favorite records of 2025 Q. See what I did? Hey, look at that. This is our second. in our best of the year episodes. And I'm making a promise right here, Q, that I won't be bringing any K-pop Demon Hunter songs this time.

You don't have two favorites of the year from that? No. Okay. You know, I got it out of my system. I just wanted to represent the phenomenon that is that movie, Q. I still haven't seen it all the three. It's good, man. bits and pieces of it.

It's good. The songs are earworms. dude. The only one I remember is Amosada pop Yeah, well, let's You know what, let's just stop talking right now, Q about KAPP Demon Hunters. But yeah, there's probably a lot of people listening

right now. If you're a parent of a young kid, you've probably heard those songs so many goddamn times. And that's why I'm making a promise right here at the front queue so that we keep the listeners. Stick around. I swear, there's not going to be any more of that. I've got great, five great tracks lined up here, Q. Oh, yeah, dude, I've got some duzies for tonight.

And let's just rapid fire, man. Let's get on with it. You know the drill. Everyone knows the drill. Let's get ridden. Yeah, five songs each. Let's do it. This is our best of, so you're hearing nothing but brand new tracks, and you're going to kick us off, Q, what do you got?

All right, so guess who released another album that I love. Just guess. I think he's made at least two appearances on our previous best ofs. In our previous best ofs. And I don't think he released an album last year. And if he did, I wasn't a fan. But Sunbeam Sound Machine. Okay.

Love this guy. He just, like, touches on, like, the sweet spot of chill wave music from, like, our, you know, our music blog days from, like, the, you know, the 2010s, that kind of sound. And he's been doing it since then. Yeah. This is bedroom pop type stuff, right? I guess you can call it that. What, DIY? Lo-fi, kind of lofi, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's dropped another doozy, man. The album's called Double Magic. It came out back in August of this year. And yeah, let's play track two off the record. This one's called Mercy. You know, I'm going to be. I'm No. I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be. I'm

I'm going to be able to be, I'm going to be. I'm going to go to and be. I'm going to I'm Watch if the tide brows and fall at the same time,

I'm all right, if you're all right, if you're all right, Every day down Into the water and don't move on Don't throw the swindges can carry on Feeling that time drifted by in a straight line La-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. We went to find your house, a speeding car, nearly two-fifth three-by-side, and I felt like I'd been awake and asleep like I'd been awake and asleep at the same time. Once you had a saxophone, it's vapor wave cue.

Oh, hey. I feel like he's flirting with vapor wave, which is interesting because... And I don't know if he's done that before. I mean, most vapor wave is like instrumental. And so it's interesting to hear somebody kind of singing, like you said, the classic like chill wave, very like, you know... Mushed out. Yeah.

Yeah, kind of like low-energy kind of voice. Tori-mois. Yeah, I feel like the voices of, that's why it's like the bedroom label. I think it's thrown on to a lot of Chow Wave artists because it's like, very like monotone, kind of like, like I said, lo-fi delivery. So that on top of like, to me, what's kind of almost like a vapor wave kind of melody was interesting. If you do Chilwave for a decade or more, you're going to get bored. You've got to try one of the other way. You've got to jump to the next wave, which is April.

wave. I guess saxophone equals vapor wave now. I don't know. I just, you always hear saxophone samples in vapor wave tracks, so that's what I always think about. Well, this guy can do no wrong in my eyes, man. I love his stuff. Nice. All right, dude. What are you going to do? We're going to do any whiplash tonight? Um, no, I don't think so. I don't have anything. Well, yes, there's going to be at least one, at least one. But, um, you know, yeah, I'm just going to stick with my original order here. So this is a group, I believe they've shown up at least once on, no filler, but it was a long time ago, years ago, probably the last time they were featured. This group is called Greet Death. Have you heard of them? Oh, yeah. I think I actually have them on my list.

Do you? Not like as the narrowed down list, but they're on there. Okay, okay. All right. Well, they put out a record back in June called Die in Love, and this song is fantastic, man. So I'm just going to let this play out. Shoegays, right? Yeah, adjacent, you know? I don't think they are strictly Shugays, but they are alt rock, indie rock.

On this record, at least, they put a lot of different genres on this thing. I recognize the album cover, yeah. I remember there was hype on this record. For sure. On the freaking Shugase subredder, because, dude, that suburb is kind of all over the place sometimes. It really is, yeah, it really is.

But that's the whole, we talk about that a lot, dude. We do, yeah. The label gets turned around a lot. lot. And I think that's because elements of shoegays are used all over the place. Now it is. Yeah. And so people are just like, well, it's got fuzzy guitars. There's a wall of sound. So it must be shoe gaze. You know what I mean? Yeah. But anyway. All right. We're going to play track two on this record. This song is called Same But Different Now. You know,

I'm going to be able to be. We're going to be able to be. We're going to be able to find out. Beaux of the heart and travel in life. It's the same It's hard It's the same

different love There's a change Children Children I'm on the great time

time So your face I started Turn my voice It's all the way It's all I'm going to say. You know I hate I'm out of the same.

I'm sorry. Yeah, I've heard that's worth it all. I've heard that one, dude. Yeah, I love it. Really good. The whole record's amazing. And like I said, they're kind of, you know, there's a lot of different genres and stuff,

a lot of different sounds. His voice kind of changes throughout the record. No, I don't know if... You can label something like, as like drone rock or something. Only, and I'm only saying that because they, every line, like, you know, the didn't sound of the same. Yeah. It was just over over the same thing.

But the instrumentation behind it is building, building momentum. But does that make it a drone, you know? I don't know. I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so. But you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I know what you mean. But I like, I like songs.

I like songs that do that, yeah. Especially when there's, there's something that's, that's very consistent and like and doesn't change but then the instrumentation changes or vice versa or something like that you know what I mean yeah because it just builds these layers and stuff I just wanted to say real quick another single on this record country girl I almost went with that because the lyrics are literally all about uh Halloween films basically there's even lyrics about John Carpenter uh Jamie Lee Curtis Nightmare on Elm Street Michael Myers It's awesome, dude.

Nice. All right, Q. What do you got? Well, here's one that we're both familiar with, Trev. And I think we brought a track from this artist during our, maybe the obscure Shoegays episode. The band is definitely on that shoegays roadmap. No joy. No joy.

Okay. No joy you recognize this album cover. Yes, yes. Wait to pleasure. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. that track on here Slug Night I believe

is one of my favorite tracks I think that was brought to the episode or the show I mean that's dude that album came out in 2013 which is not span it was a long time ago I know I know

This is a Jasmine White Gloze That's she is no joy She's the front person I didn't realize that she put out A new record man Yeah dude She sure didn't It's a doozy

Album is called Bugland Came out in August and I'm going to bring the title track, dude, so here we go. Turned out and found out in the I'm proud of me It was well gone What you say? Yeah, so

I'm a bad in time my mind But where I'm being started Even better I'm tired And I'm

I'm alive And I'm alive He alone. Oh, oh. Oh. Oh,

time. Every time Every day. Every day. Her sound has changed a bunch, dude, since, I mean, over a decade ago, sure, but, like, my only touchpoint for her is that, that record from 2013, so, and that probably just that one song, honestly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, man, wow. Which was really just a standard kind of shoegays, so is it, you know? Is it just her? It's just her.

Sure, right? Or does she have? Okay. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Very electronic, very dancey. Is the whole record like that? I mean, it's a little all over the place, but yeah, it's a dozy, dude. Nice, man. Well, all right. So I'm changing the order around here to, uh, to give us our first 180 whiplash. So be prepared, my friend. Uh, so I wouldn't call this metal. Um, in fact, these guys are classified, at least some of their music, falls under the wide umbrella of emo. But this song is definitely leaning more metal, in my opinion. Actually, no, I'm sorry, I'm bringing track one, which is not, but there's a little bit, let's just see what you say, cute, because you're the, you're the metal, um, opposer.

as I like to say metal what would you say what would you call a critic here's what you like to say Q you like to say this you know I appreciate it that's what you like to say I appreciate it but I you know I would never listen to this not for you

on my own you know without being forced to well we'll just let's just see about this one then huh you might like this one so here we go this band It's a mouthful, which is the first clue that they're an emo band, because their name is very long. So this is a band called The World is a Beautiful Place, and I am no longer afraid to die. Whoa. It's the name of the band. Dude, that's straight up emo.

Like straight. What, third way? No, chaser. Their first record came out in 2013. I'm sorry, 2011. They've been doing this for a while. So I bet you if you listen to their first record, probably isn't a lot different than this record. So I need to go back because I've only really listened to this record, but it's pretty damn good.

And they have a lot of different singers. They even have guest artists that appear and guest bands that appear. Probably, my guess is that it's just vocalists from these other groups, counterparts, church, tongue, end, a bunch of interesting band names. But anyway, I'm going to play the first track off of this record. This came out in August. The record is called Dreams of Being Dust. And this song is called Dimmed Sun. Washing all the way

Where were people men in one stood The land brings The center of the bones A lot of us want On a clouded road Through moments of lies We will lose It's all in us

And this This Royalist world Sweat in our eyes And paint on our feet No one's to wait But brushes in our teeth Seven cup is laid out.

We fell through the tomb The cages left brittle to On our backs Relief of the stirs I hit in sex I saw the hanging while infinite hunters aiming at me I mean that felt like, and I'm saying like, and I'm saying, it felt like, and I'm saying,

it felt like this to me. because I don't know. I don't listen to a lot of metal, but, like, they were doing it. They did it. I could definitely hear that, like, take away the vocals and there's sort of emo. Yeah.

Alongside and Travis helped me out here, bro. Like, what kind of metal, what's the flavor there? I don't even know. I mean, it's just, I mean, that's the thing. Like, emo has always had metal elements in it. You know what I mean? Like, always. The riffs, the guitar riffs.

Fast-paced. The drum. What did you think of the drum? I bet you, yeah. Drums are great. Now, Q, I'd like you to see if you can tell what that shirt says. Cave in. There you go.

It didn't even take you a second to read that. So yeah, the guy's got a cave-in shirt. So what more do you need to say? And the other guy's got a Portishead shirt. So these guys aren't playing around. They know, they know their music. They know their tunes, man. I know their tunes, man.

So again, that was, the world is a beautiful place, and I am no longer afraid to die. And again, that track was called dimmed sun. Dim sum? Yeah, that's what I thought too, Q. So, also, I just wanted to shout this out. They have a track on this record called December 4th, 2024. I'll let you look that up on your own.

If you want to know what that song's about. good album great lyrics deep lyrics and uh just a good old time all around cue beware the centrist track four is straight up a metal track so i spared you from that one cue appreciate you all right now we're this time for another 360 i mean 180 unless you have a metal track for us or an email track let's do it let's do a 275 interesting 270 i don't know dude i guess we're we just missed the bus on this band because apparently they made some waves back in the early emo days. I'm talking like, I guess third wave email. And they just stopped making music for a long time and now they're back. The band is called Algernon Cadwallader. Cadwallader. Let me see what

let me see what that looks like. Algernon Cadwallader. Never once in my life. I've seen those two words together. Algernon. Alginon. Midwest emo. Good old Midwest emo, dude. Isn't that the name of a Star Wars planet? Alderan?

Alderan. Well, it's Algernon. Flowers for Algernon is what you're thinking of, Traff. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. With the mouse. That's all I know about it. Right, right, right. Yeah, they were originally active from 2005 to 2012.

They were referred to as the Heroes of the Emo Revival by Stereo Gum. Got it. And then, yeah, and then they stopped making music, came back after 10 years, and now they're doing their thing again. And it's fucking great, dude. I don't know, I haven't gone back and listened to their old stuff, but this album, it's called Trying Not to Have a Thought just dropped in September, and you're going to love this, man. Here we go. So, speaking to good old classic emo track names, this one's called Shameless Faces, parentheses. Even the guy who made the thing was a piece of shit.

That is. Even longer than the band name. I love it. All right, here we go. Every Everything is Really When you're still in

No mountains dead I can't steal That are dragging A mountain good I know Nothing could be worse

That Fight For a second You tried to It's a step right And this is the future Slave on the Ash

And the Indian killers In the shadow Of the hills That I'm blood Wait by I'm going to fall Let's burn And it's scrolling

The thing of the birds They never love Listen to the sound of the drum Over the mountains You can hear it Listen to the sound of the drum You can hear

First of all right now. First of all, I'm killing me, because I'm trying to think of this band that we've featured on this show before that I'm reminded of. and I really want to know. Kane hotter? No, no, no. What's the name of the singer? What's the name of the singer?

In this group? Yeah, I'm trying to see if he's like... The guy? Yeah, if he does this as like a side project or something. Or maybe it's even under like... Peter Helmiss? Peter Helmiss. Peter.

Peter Helmiss? Yeah. Well, I'm not going to be able to pull it. But yeah, man, I... That vocal quality... like vocal style, that, whatever you want to call that. Straighten the voice and just go with it. Yeah, I've always been drawn to that, man.

I like it. Yeah, seeing your heart out. I like it. Yeah, me too. It's a little over the top, but I mean, I love it. Talk about like some hard-hitting lyrics, dude. They didn't fuck around with this one. Man, I'm trying to figure this out, but it's not going to happen.

I swear they had a song that was called like Legends of the Hidden Temple Run or something like that. It was goofy. Oh, man. It's not going to come up. dude but we've featured him on the show it's like these two guys and it's like math rocky and his voice is very very similar but yeah man love it yeah really good and hey good follow-up to uh to my emo adjacent song yeah dude i thought so um so these guys have been doing this for forever well but they but they were on hiatus for like 10 years dude got it got it and i don't uh yeah i didn't

really dive too deep into it so i don't know how much of the members are well there's only one past member listed on wiki Wikipedia. So it's pretty much all the same. All the founding members are back at it. Uh-huh. Nice, dude. Very good. Love it. So yeah, man, we missed out on that. And, you know, in our high school and just out of high school days, they were under the radar for me. I did not catch them. And that was when we were into this kind of stuff, man. I know. I feel like we would have eaten it up. Yeah. All right, man, what you got? Now let's pull that 180 son. Yeah, this will be a 180.

So I think you are aware of you that Panda Bear put out a new record. I am. And I loved what I heard. So I'm going to play, I mean, this album is all the things that you hope to hear on a panda bear record. It's got his great harmonizing. It's got his almost like kind of, I feel like his music is always like kind of like tropical you know yeah that's a good you know what i mean i don't know how to how else to say it but

even the uh the merrier weather post-villian stuff kind of had that vibe to it just kind of felt like a like beach adjacent you know you know what you might be saying that because he sounds to me like brian wilson he sure does cute and i think this song's going to showcase that so here we go he's got these beach boys vibes definitely so this album came out early this year back in February. And I think that's why, like, I remember saving it and thinking, like, oh, this is for sure going to make it on my best time. And then I forgot. I totally forgot that it exists. Well, yeah, I did the same thing. I dropped In's meat on my list saying, I'll circle back to this record. And I did recently, because I wanted to make sure I picked the song from this. And this song really stood out to me. So here we go. The song is kind of a slower-paced Panda Bear track, but it's just his vocals are amazing on this. There you go. The song is called Left in the Cold. Left to go left to go

left and go we could be too we could be It What do you What do we want to find out of home? I don't know. We could be able to.

We could be too. We could be too. Nice Nice choice, dude. I thought it was a good palate cleanser, you know. Yeah, and I, yeah. And there's, I mean, there's no one like Panda Bear, like no Linux, man. I was going to say that, man, that, like, he is one of the most unique vocalists of the last 20 years for sure, man.

And he happened to join in with a band of brothers that were also some of the most unique songwriters of our time. Totally. And just doing such interesting things, man, with their voices, right? I mean that was kind of the whole thing and like with their harmonizing and their song structures and all that stuff yeah man it was a perfect group for him to join because that his vocals lends such a like you were saying earlier like a traditional you know beautiful kind of harmonizing quality to it just like works and I mean now that was a very beautiful traditional gorgeous song there's nothing animal collective about that but like when you throw him into animal collective like it was just the perfect like juxtaposition to all the weird sounds that came out of Animal Collective, you know. Indeed, dude. And speaking of, I wasn't going to play this track today, dude. But Animal Collective dropped some new tracks this year.

Are you talking about the soundtrack that they did? Nope. That one's a doozy, man. It is. It's just really just like an ambient. Yeah. No, I'm talking about a single they dropped back in July, and it's great, dude. I mean, it's just Animal Collective doing their thing.

so here we go let's do it this song is called buddies on the blackboard I'm relating On the blackboard On the blackboard And my fingers can tell On the blackboard And I know what I see On the blackboard

And I went to replay On the blackboard And I feel dizzy On the black boy We can't move on the blackboard, but I just can't feel anything on the blackboard. Hey! nations

and restoration and come off the world see a the world the last

a good and my heart and the I'm a the world

and the heart I'm a heart I'm On the blackboard And I still have my doubt On the blackboard

I can figure them out On the blackboard And I can't feel the way On the black boy And I want to a clue On the blackboard But you can't move On the blackboard

But he just can't feel anything on the blackboard Man, it just makes me happy, you know, and these guys are still getting together, making tunes, man. Me too. Because that's just classic animal, I'll feel like it right there. I fucking love it, dude. And this is a shining example. I say this a lot about certain people that I get to share this freaking planet with right now, man.

And it's so cool that we could share this planet. with Avery Tear, Noah Lennox. Yeah, and this was, I will always remember that, that concert that we saw back for their, it was for the Mary Weather tour, yeah. And I remember some dude feigned behind us. Oh, yeah, dude. It was a big guy, too.

Big dude, yeah, probably, you know, locked his knees, dude. Don't lock those knees, man. Not at a concert, what are you doing, bro? Dude, no, like, I want to say, like five or six years ago, I got to see them do sung tongs in its entirety. That's cool. And yeah, it was just him and Noah, just Avi and Noah.

Geologist wasn't there, it was just them too. So, yeah, I just found out that this song came out. Wasn't going to bring it tonight, but since you brought Panda Bear, I figured let's just freaking keep this train rolling. All right, man, let's pass it back to you. All right, I've got a decision to make here, Q. That's what I've got to do. I know what I'm closing with, but I want to make sure that I represent this particular artist.

so I'm going to do it. All right, this is going to be a change from what we've been playing today. But I have been shuffling this guy. I come to his Spotify, I shuffle all tracks because it's all good. And I know he's shown up on the pod before, but he is extremely prolific. So this guy, he goes by the name Lego Weld, and he puts out a bunch of like just classic, like think like Cassio synth 808 beats and stuff like that like that type of like synth music he's been doing it forever and like I was saying like I mean he he's probably

put out more than than what I'm about to count but he's got like at least on Spotify he's got like seven releases this year now some of them are just the leaps and singles and stuff but he's got a full length record and actually that was just the singles, seven singles and EPs this year and two albums, one album, one full length. So yeah, anyway.

Dude, he's got 80 releases showing up. No, 85 releases showing up here. On Spotify? You know, singles and albums mixed together. Yeah. I'm looking at, yeah, all of his releases. There's 80. five right here right and it's possible if you go to his band camp you might have even more on his

band camp right and then hop over to sound cloud maybe he's got even more exactly so anyway i i just this is just one of those artists that i i just you put it on it's all good and uh it's it's just a good vibe so i'm going to play a song that i think kind of represents just his sound off of his new record. So this album came out back in May. It's called Synths Below Sea Level. This song is called Mediquidium 1995. I'm going to be in the I'm going to be, and I'm trying to

I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be, and so, and so, the I'm,

I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to be able to be. I'm sorry. I'm going to be able to be. I don't know. I'm going to be able to be. I don't know.

I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be able to be. So, I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be able to be. I'm not going to be the I'm going to be the I'm going to be I'm going to

I'm going to We're going to be able to be. I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be. We're going to be able to be. We're going to be able to be. We're going to be. We're going to be able to be.

We're going to be able to be. We're going to be. We're going to be able to be. We're going to be. I'm going to be. We're going to be able to be. We're going to be able to be. I'm going to be able to be.

I'm going to be. I'm going to be able to be. Yeah, dude, he knows how to, how to make you wait for those transitions. It was hard to fade to know when to fade out because, like, he's constantly, I mean, he's doing the classic. He really holds on to it. The thing that we like to talk about with electronic music, like the layer building, you know, the, it's, you know, crucial for a good electronic. track or a good like DJ set or something you got to know one to like add and take away and stuff like that and yeah but anyway hit shuffle on this dude's tracks and it's just all solid

I like it dude you like you anyway um yeah dude just even just you know just the sound and the name of that song med liquidium 1995 I feel like I was you know being I was on like a you know I was being dialed up to the internet back in the 90s you know whatever like I was riding on the internet yeah oh dude he collaborated with shook I thought about bringing in one of those tracks actually freaking love shook man well you're gonna you'd like that record so that's that's his EB EP that he put out this year nice was a collaboration was shook and it's that's a that's a really good one too but I wanted to I wanted to represent I love his

stuff man his kind of classic sound but yeah anyway that EP the Quinn's referring to is called techno life super nature that he yeah collaborated with Shook on. So anyway, all right, Q, this is your last track, I believe.

It is. And I got to give a shout out to Mitchell for introducing me to this group. He brought a track of theirs to the, what you heard

he was on with us? The Bel Air Lip Bombs. Yes, sir. How'd you know? I was listening to that record today, actually. Great.

So you're going to, you're going to be familiar with this, probably? I didn't make it through the whole record. so possibly I haven't heard this one. He didn't bring a song from this new record, though, I don't think. No, no, I don't think this record had come out yet.

I think it's, yeah, it's a pretty fresh one, but he, yeah, he brought a really, really excellent track. We made a playlist, because we did, we did, we did just to make a playlist of the tracks. He brought one from Lush Life. It was called, Cass, I don't remember which one it was, but it was fucking amazing. Yeah, dude. Here, I got it right here. It was, look at the part, is what it was called. And that song, dude, just captured my heartstrings.

If that's what you do with heartstrings, I don't know. Plucked at them. Plucked at him. Yeah. Well, you've definitely heard this one, dude, because I'm just bringing the first track off the record. Oh, that's so fucking good, dude. All right, here we go. This is the Bel Air Lip Bombs.

The album's called Again. Came out on Halloween, Traff. And... Third Man Records, shout out to Jayclay. Nice. And this, yeah, this is track one off the record. It's called Again and Again. One minute I was up in the head Now you tell me that I'm wasting my breath I say, well at least we try

You never been the one to make what you mind I've been telling everybody I'm fine But I've been thinking about you every night, all right I've been making, I've been making, I've been making, I've been making same mistakes Again again and again again and again again and again and again and again again and again again and again again again again again again again again and again I just hit a little reset I don't know about the what you spoke Because I could catch you with the pretense

But I've got it all under control Minds you're a man of a couple grand If I say that flashed a pen Well, I just shake it out And I'm not talking to down Again, again, again, again, again and again, again, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. Fantastic, man. And I've got an opportunity to see them in April if I choose to do so.

Nice, dude. You should. That would probably be a blast. Yeah. Surprisingly not come under your neck, dude, which is kind of shocking. Unless they already play. I mean, it's possible they've already started their tour for this record. And maybe you missed them.

But anyway, I love her vocals, man. Courtney Barnett vibes, dude, all the way. Yeah, totally. And maybe some like... She can kind of looks like her a little bit. the album art cracks me up man she's just like standing like with a dodgeball like yeah like a little jester cap on like kind of looking frustrated at the other guy members in her band like the other band you're just like like you know looking off like adoringly

at something yeah it's just like they're posing for like a family portrait and she's just like come on guys well yeah and then look at the other picture that's just under the about the artist It's, it was just kind of, it's her, like, kind of off doing her own thing with the rest of the group behind her and the foregarner background. Yeah, it's interesting. There's something going on here. The question is, is there's some sort of love triangle or something going on? Fleetwood Mac. Or you just said, didn't you just say Jenny Lewis?

No, you didn't say Jenny Lewis. I did. You did. Okay. Well, there you go. Wait, Halie. Was there a love triangle going on there? There was.

That's why they got compared to. to Flew with Mac a lot, not just for like their music sounded kind of like it, but also because, like, what, Riloh-Kiley? Yeah, Riloh-Kiley, yeah. Okay. I think it was the kid from, I think they were both actors, right? Child actors. There were two child actors in that band.

Janie Lewis was one of them and the other guy. Anyway, it's been a while since I paid attention to them, but apparently they're either just touring again or they've reunited, so I'm curious if they're going to start. putting out music but under the black light was an interesting record but um yeah yeah i liked that one yeah anyways man we're not dream world dude dream world was a great great great song anyway all right yeah beller lip bombs dude no that's a record we could do sorry coming back to well okay that could be an interesting uh record anyway all right yeah bella lip bombs great track um i'm gonna close this with something a little bit more

I don't know but this is a this track blew me hang on dude oh god and Rilo Kylie Blake Senate

who was in Salute your shorts yes in boy meets world yes so exactly the fuck yeah dude

you didn't know that no which one is he wait wait a wait a wait a second like a little chump bro oh it's that guy yeah dude

okay I didn't know Talk about. Punchable face. Anyway. Shennett Lewis was in some, Ginny Lewis was in some show. But anyway.

Go ahead. Sorry, man. Okay, I was saying this song, what's funny is you stopped me. I said, I was about to say, it blew me away. And I said,

this song, blew me. And then you started talking. But I did that too, if we want to just go there. So this song is, I think, I know for a fact I've listened to this group

but shockingly they haven't been featured on unless we talked about them it's possible that they were on the obscure shoegaze the band is called Slow Crush That sounds so familiar dude Yeah the record that I was turned on to by them was Aurora in 2020 And I've popped in here and there for like some tracks off a hush and all this stuff But this new record Thirst Incredible dude

really really good and we're going to have to listen to this entire track sorry but we have no choice so here you go this song off of their

record Thirst which came out in August this song is called Haven Thank you. So, I see. When you're dark climb dark climb

dark climb I feel Stay Stay I need you Stay I need you I need you

I need you I'm gonna hold me Please Restown It's down. It's down. I want to be able to be able to be in it.

It's Who I'm Stead Strait Awesome. Awesome. Glad we played the whole song, dude. to see why that was so sweet dude that that change up halfway through yeah dude and yeah

boo do do do do do do do that was fucking awesome dude now Q this is called doom gaze my friend oh this is doom game now hey I've always said that's about as far as I'll go you don't need to go you know what you don't need to go any further you that's what I'm saying but that's the thing maybe that okay now we're going back to what we said earlier how you can mix shoegaze with anything. Yeah. And that's what made DoomGaze so compelling. And why I love DoomGay so much is because it's the slow, sludgy doom metal with the like

soft, ethereal vocals. And it just works perfectly, dude. Didn't we do a DoomGaze episode? We did. And I went back and looked while this song was playing to see if Slow Crush appeared on that episode, but it did not. But, yeah, Spotlights is one of my favorite Doomgays. bands. I've, we've done an episode on them. Um, but yeah, slow, slow crush falls under that

umbrella. Uh, so yeah, doom gaze. Good stuff. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. So I've got a, uh, I've got a really good, another, another track off this record. If we could play this as the outro. Sure. Kind of an opposite type of song. I mean, it's definitely a shoegaze. In fact, it's more of a shoe gaze song, a traditional shoe gaze song. So we'll close with that. Um, and you're going to be blown away, dude, just like I was blown just like I was blown away dude anyway slow crush thirst this was going to be on my you know I try to do my my last five my top five of the year on the last episode but I bumped this to make room for a track that I wanted to play for Mitchie so Mitchell when you come to our last episode which you know the invite is out I think I think it's going to happen

Oh, yeah. I've got a track that only you can react to you, my friend, because Q's not going to appreciate it. I'll just put it that way. I'm trying. Yeah. Anyway, all right. Well, we'll come at you again next week with our next 10 tracks, and then we will close out the year with our final 15. And I say 15, because we're going to have Mitchell on the show.

And that's going to be an extended episode because we'll have five extra tracks to play. That one's going to be a doozy. It will. but and that's I feel sorry for a minute she's going to have to narrow it down to five of his favorite tracks of the entire year but that'll be a good episode man for sure oh yeah that's going to be a blast in the meantime reach out to us on Instagram if you'd like just search for no feel the podcast follow us on the Pantheon podcast network as always and yeah I'm going to close us out here with another song off of this record from slow crush

this song is going to be cherry and well yeah thanks for listening my name is Chavez. And I'm Quentin. You all take care. Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh. Oh.
