...is "Mom Jeans."

Album recommendation: "Best buds," by the band Mom Jeans. Alt-rock.
Warning: It's not that good. The singer has a really whiney voice, it swears a lot, the drumming is pretty excessive for my tastes, and the guitar work sounds pretty homogeneous across songs.
BUT.
I'm obsessed with it!!! I've listened to this album everyday at work or while homeworking for the last several weeks! Oh man. There is so much emotion packed into this album it's addicting. I'm a pretty lucky guy and don't have a lot of problems I deal with on a day to day basis, but this music makes me want to have problems just so I can whine about them at the top of my lungs. Most of the songs are breakup songs (I think?) and talk about smoking and beards. I have nothing to do with any of those things but I'm here listening to the songs just like "FREAK YEAH MAN!!"
The album features some cool stuff like cool time signature changes interspersed throughout, along with some sweet guitar licks. One of the songs has the most epic group vocals and trumpet combo at the end that is seriously sick and just... BIG. Plus there's a couple lines in this record that are straight up enslaving. My roommates can readily testify of me belting out (in the whiniest voice I can)
"I don't mind
that you lie sometimes
cuz I lie too
yes I'm just like you!"
Plus, there's a fun Bob's Burgers cameo in the album which is pretty cool.
Really, this isn't for everyone. But if you want to get in touch with your coming-of-age, angsty, millennial bad self, it's worth checkin.
