When Baltimore’s Angel Du$t were a Stereogum Band To Watch way back in 2016, they were more or less a hardcore band, albeit a hardcore band that brought some serious out-of-nowhere Lemonheads-style hooks. By the time they released their most recent album, 2021’s excellent YAK: A Collection Of Truck Songs, Angel Du$t had more or less turned into weirdo power-pop. They still ruled, though. Today, Angel Du$t are back with two new songs that sound like hardcore and weirdo power-pop at the same time.
The Palm Coast, Florida Band To Watch Home Is Where have built up quite the following since releasing their debut I Became Birds in 2021, culminating in a tribute compilation put out earlier this year featuring reimaginings of its songs by fellow luminaries like Parannoul, Asian Glow, and awakebutstillinbed. Today, they’re announcing its follow-up, the whaler, which will be released in June. The band traveled out to Oakland and recorded the album with Jack Shirley at his Atomic Garden studio.
