I'm no expert in what "real country" is, but I've grown to respect and enjoy artists such as Sturgill Simpson. One of my favorite albums by Sturgill Simpson is Sound & Fury, which is a sonic departure from Simpson's outlaw country sound to just a pure rock album. Tyler Childers does the same with this album, I've listened to his earlier bluegrass stuff but this is a broad, exciting expansive album for him that explores new sounds but still staying true to his songwriting ability.

This is just a dope-ass vibey album. Turnstile has made hardcore palatable to the mainstream while also embracing experimentation with their sound and indulging in some pop and 80s synth sensibilities. This band's getting big and there's a reason for it.

Holy shit, listening to this album is an experience. It swaps genres sporadically and forces you, the listener, to engage with it not caring whether you enjoy it or not. It's all over the place and one of the most creative, boundary pushing albums I've listened to.

One of my favorite albums of 2025. Just a full-on sonic assault that's oddly cathartic. You can find a drop of meaning in an ocean of noise. Shoegaze meets Black Metal, and some Post-Rock sprinkled in. I first saw them live opening for Coheed and Cambria and was floored by how frenetic their music is.
