Music Box, Post Office Winter (10/10)

"Music Box" is the sophomore album release of another baby Chicago group (in addition to Horsegirl), Post Office Winter (6/25/22). I was really impressed! It's super garage-y indie rock and kinda slowcore - reminded me a lot of Alex G's "Race;" while the sound is pretty different from his, it has the same feeling of being recorded on a cassette or something in a kid's garage in one take. It's pretty rad especially given how young the duo is. And the song, "WAKE" is just stunning. Although I don't love every song on the album, I liked the vibe so much I even pre-ordered a cassette of it. Sound is kinda like Melaina Kol or maybe a 22(degree) Halo. Favorite tracks: WAKE, See the avalanche, Veil/Chapel

Okay revision 10/24/24. Changing this to a 10/10. I love this album. The songwriting is some of my favorite in the world and so many of the songs break my heart into little bits. How were they so young when they wrote it???? Become one of my fav albums of all time even tho that might be a hot take.
