For the last six months I've continually heard a riff washing through the back tides of my skull--the one which opens Older Than Before by Weatherday from their 2019 album Come In. Recommended to me by Spotify's algorithm when it seemingly drew some startlingly accurate conclusions about my identity based on what I listen to, I fell in love with this track right away, and thus immediately investigated the album, as I tend to do.
Much of Come In hangs in a sleepier, dreamier sound space, not even withstanding that track five, the 13-minute My Sputnik Sweetheart, consists primarily of a ringing, noisy electric guitar riff played long enough to make you dissociate from whatever you're doing. With my current lifestyle I don't have time to soak in the full effect of this whole album but once in a blue moon, so I won't pretend to have cracked it open or anything—it presents many familiar feelings to me and others which I empathize with in sadness, and I am more than certain that there are people who need to hear this album and probably won't stop listening.
Nonetheless those first six minutes comprising the tracks Come In and Older Than Before have enough frenetic and memorable guitar shrieking through behemoth distortion walls and unexpected sing-along moments rising and falling from the nearly-buried vocals to keep me coming back again and again. Recommended.
Saw the recommendation, listened to the Spotify sample (I don't actually have Spotify, and I don't intend to change that), and immediately bought the album on Bandcamp. 'S a very good album so far.
