Yeah that one got me too. Like a paisley bucket hat, which apparently is a thing. The ones with wide flat brims are too music-festival dudebro coded for my tastes but I found some that track closer to the examples OP provided.
There was a hilariously contrived scene in a brothel in the 1st season (I think) where Littlefinger dumps a ton of backstory. I remember it being called sexposition lol
my project at work is beset with accidental wreckers, like they're following that CIA copypasta to a T. love to re-litigate shit that was specced four months ago. thank fucking god I'm not the PM
Well yes it's terrible and hallucinates, it's a real piece of shit actually, but you see of course this is precisely why we need to commit all of humanity's resources. To improve it! To allow it to spell a word!
For real, I mean pointing out Republican hypocrisy can be a fraught exercise, since they do and say so little in good faith, but I remember well the term "regulatory certainty" being thrown around as justification for stripping away all kinds of environmental protections at the federal and state levels
Great question, I'm interested to see what others come up with. I loved Zaba, really liked the second album, but ... yeah they fell off hard for me.
Let's see what my tired brain can scare up from that part of my music mind...
Alt-J is the closest band I can come up with right now. Check out their song Tessellate. Be warned the singer's vocal style is ... unique and very hit-or-miss.
Geographer is pretty close too, check out their albums Animal Shapes and Myth. Original Sin, Kites, and Blinders are individual standouts for me.
Starfucker's (I think they go by STRFKR now?) first album, self-titled, sits in an adjacent space in my head. I really liked their second album Reptilians, too. They're more "indie," more synthy than Glass Animals. German Love and Isabella of Castile are two standout tracks IMO.
Bonobo scratches that itch for me too, it's downtempo chilled out beats, slick production, but without the fun vocal play from Zaba. Black Sands is one of my desert island albums.
Keeping with the primate theme, how about Gorillaz? Especially their first two albums.
I think Massive Attack might be worth checking out too, but I confess they're in a bit of a blind spot for me so I don't have specific recommendations.
Excellent timing with all the upcoming AFGE-sponsored Labor Day activities, which I bet have already been organized at various locations throughout their communities... I wonder what they might get up to this year, with about a month to agitate?
The cringe is redshifted
