this was a really fun listen. said it elsewhere and maybe you saw but this is my favorite (and most spot-on) interpretation of the record i've heard! y'all really know your stuff when it comes to analysis and clearly have connected with my words. also shows the importance of a trans perspective! (i am non-binary but transfem btw, she/they
omg!!! tysm for the comment and kind words :') really enjoying the album and have been listening! guitar song has been on repeat for me. excited for what's to come :)
-alex
Aww this is so sweet, I hope you know your music is a big inspiration for queer people :DD
THANK YOU QUEEN ❤ transfem nb's unite
- astrid
@@MusicPostingPodcast FUCK YEAH
Yo it’s THE Classic J :O
"Puppy is putting on the fursuit... The Killer is putting on the five nights at Freddy's suit." Is the insightful commentary you can't get anywhere else but Music Posting.
this band's music helped me out so much when my egg cracked and i was discovering myself
i see we’re from the same yolk. Feels great to come out from your shell
GLASS BEACH!!!
I AM SOYJACKING SO HARD RN THAT YOU GUYS DID GLASS BEACH
ARG participator here, things might not be in chronological order but heres the stuff, the arg started on sept 27 they pretty much just updated the website and the first thing that welcomed you there was a snippet of slip under the door (specifically the intro to it) with the visuals saying "please stand by" after it ended you got dropped in a "labyrinth" where you could find snippets to other songs (from the cia, 200, abyss angel, coalacanth, commatose) through tapes and stuff and there were other videos too, one contained a phone number, which had little passwords which were meant to be found but someone brute forced them and we got the release date, 2 different names for the album (plastic death, and placid depth), and an altered tracklist (some of the names where different) also we got 2 snippets (motions, commatose) before the phoneline closed down, after that it was just looking around the website for clues, that led to more snippets (motions, slip under the door, rare animal, cul-de-sac), on oct 4 the cctv site from the labyrinth finally got a video that depicted the filming scene in the cia music video, also people found an sstv audio file that was constructed into a really bad quality version of the album cover (this is when fans "gleachers" named the abyss angel allen) on oct 10 the cia was released as a single, then like about 2 weeks we found a zip file which had passwords on it, most passwords were got from tape1009(dropped on oct 4, also if i remember right this also contained a cul-de-sac snippet) and one of the passwords were just brute forced, at the end we got .wav file of rare animal and thats where the arg pretty much ended, i mean there were a lot of other cool stuff too, like there was a qna space also a lot of dates were found on whiteboard early on, also a cool other website explaining the abyss angel and people finding things, buildings in the ocean which shouldnt be there, also there was "tapir realm" which were just silly animations, there was also a lotta stuff about the red book by carl gustva jung, also at some point all the lyrics of coelacanth was on a page (accidentally), anyways the arg was pretty fucking cool, love this silly little queer band. PLASTIC DEATH FUCKING ROCKS!
thank you! so cool!
-alex
Uhh stuff for myself
0:00 intro
6:35 Coelacanth
14:23 Motions
19:15 Slip under the door
24:21 Guitar song
35:14 cul-de-sac
40:09 Whalefall
I'll keep editing as I listen
I love the perspective Astrid has forthe pill mentioned in abyss angel. I saw it as an antidepressant but HRT is another great interpretation
Im so happy that both of you covered this record! glass beach is one of my favourite bands ever, I discovered them in 2020 while I was going through some harsh moments in my life, and the first glass beach album helped me so much. I love plastic death first listen, i've been listening a lot of it recently and I just keep enjoying it a lot more. I really liked how much both of you covered each song, and im glad that both alex and astrid enjoyed it!
glad you had it there for you :)
-alex
hey! i took part in the ARG for the first couple weeks-the first day it dropped, there was a phone number hidden on the ARG website that when you called it had some snippets of things-it ended up getting so many calls that by midnight they had to close the line lol
further on, the ARG revealed the album name, the tracklist, and snippets of all songs on the album. it was fun :)
also the name of the creature on the cover is an abyss angel, his name is allen :3
the fanbase sounds so dedicated i love it
-alex
glass beach band@@MusicPostingPodcast
omg you guys I’m so glad you’re covering this!! super hyped :3
i loved this album so much. glass beach made waves (lol) with their first album and if they inevitably tried to do the same formula as the first album they'd face the risk of failing and making something that just isnt as strong. So after all these years they made something thats in a completely different direction, instead of brutally emotionally honest and literal lyrics of the first album j goes for more abstract songwriting wherein everybody can take a different thing from - in your case, you sort of figured out the things j wanted to bring accross to us like the ownership of your body and you image, but you also touched on some interpetations that i found interesting: the US and their army and so on.
Astrid should check out some modern 5th wave Skramz if she liked 'slip under the door', im not too well knowledged on the genre but i think heccra is a good starting point just from what i've heard my skramz folk talking about (i could be completely off base tho, someone should correct me if there's better recomendations).
personally im not someone who really cares that much about the lyrics, im a music-first type of person, and the gang did not disappoint. i LOVE drums and interesting drumming in albums, and they're done so well - if you pay attention to them they're really well performed but you can space out from them to listen to the rest of the music, they dont take up the whole space. the way harmonies are composed is something i havent seen complimented enough by fans - its INSANE: classical composition level of harmonic complexity.
commatose is my favourite song and overall the album is probably gonna end up being my AOTY, the only bands that miiight challenge that spot is going to be weatherday's hornet disaster (another great nonbinary emo artist) and cursive (emo classics). But I would NOT be unhappy if even more albums came out and were at this level of adoration from me, im never gonna pass up good music!
correct paragraph indentation, well done
oh my god i clicked so fast, i LOVE this album
Astrid please please please listen to Weatherday - Come In. Its noisy and colorful nb fronted emo that is constantly shifting and surprising. It feels like a huge inspiration for Lilac Boy, so Id be a little surprised if it isnt up your alley. It released arpund the same time around The First glass Beach Album and has about the same amount of influence on this wave of emo.
vouch as fuck weatherday rules so hard i'd be surprised if she didn't like it tbqh
omg glass beach has my heart im so thrilled to see u guys talk about it
HI! I was one of the people that participated in the ARG on the discord! It was a lot of fun, tbh everything went by super fast people figured stuff out really quickly. Some of the highlights of cool stuff i saw was someone reorganized the static on one of the videos by literally cutting apart the frame and re editing it leading to a website. At another point there was a cypher that had to be cracked and if i recall correctly people just ended up brute forcing it, but me and some friends tried solving it for a while which was good fun. I ended up contributing to it by taking the coordinates on three of the videos on the website and triangulating them, which led to this is bird sanctuary of the coast of Hawaii, which someone used later as a website subdomain to get the cipher mentioned above. Which then eventually someone used to get the song rare animal earlier then its release. Honestly really hype experience in general. glass beach also did one for thier first album (there's an archive of it on their website) so hopefully they may end up doing one for their third album as well! Any way love to see people talking about glass beach, thanks for reviewing easily one of my fav bands!
yooooooooo i fuckin love glass beach
If you want a good new emo album I highly recommend "The Whaler" by "Home Is Where" it's a relatively quick listen and is probably my favorite album from lasy year
seconded, home is where is my favorite emo band right now, they opened for us on our last tour -j
I'd also highly recommend the whaler, was easily my favorite album last year.
@@glassbeachband i love yall
The Whaler is really great. Skin Meadow is a 10/10 song.
Home is Where Forever
this is so crazy to hear, ive been obsessed with glass beach for two-ish years and actually had some Alex Unknown songs on the same playlists as them, late replier but im so excited to hear both of your takes
Unless something absolutely mind blowing drops later this year, this is definitely going to be an AOTY
gah!! I love this anysis!!! i usually dont like music reviewes or picking it apart just because I wanna do it myself and firmly beleive that the meaning i derive is the important one yadda yadda, but i did give this video a shot because j reccomended it herself. Additionally yall are queer so thats like 100 extra points in my book.
anyways! i think you both had alot of great meaning pulled from this, shat stood out ro me was alex's connecting of puppy and killer and commatose and abyss angel, in my head thoose were all more seperate. there were some other things I took away like in my head slip inder the door was alot about fears of transitioning, but i think all interpritations are great! wonderful video, you two rock!!!
My whole view on Coelacanth changed when I read a single quote from the wiki regarding it
"They do avoid body contact, however, withdrawing immediately if contact occurs."
I didnt expect glass beach on my recommended TWICE, love to see you review this:)
what if it was called glass bench and you sat on the bench and it broke into little pieces and then the glass bench was broken that would be funny i think
true
true
My favorite type of albums are, like you said, one you can interpret in your ways. My first listen on this album is kinda mid, since I can't really hear the lyrics. Yet, on the second hearing an onwards the lyrics sold me. Especially the infinite cycle, ouroboros, and hermeneutic themes present in the albums. Very though provoking album and review from your part. Which lead me to recommend one of my favorite, albeit old, album from my dearly beloved Tally Hall; "Good & Evil". The album tackles the concept of binary opposition and I kinda wanna hear your guys thought about it.
I was really really hoping you'd talk about glass beach so I'm super excited!!
When Astrid mentioned how it sounded like Radiohead I was like “thank you I’m not crazy” I was listening to A moon shaped pool yesterday though lol.
I thought the album was alright, I enjoyed some tracks, others I just kinda zoned out.
My favs were:
Abyss Angel
Coelacanth
The CIA
Cul-de-sac
Motions
Commatose
The Killer
Puppy
With the Banksy reference in terms of art that destroys itself when it's completed: there was a painting he made that was attached to a shredder that shredded the painting after it sold, which is why I think Banksy was brought up, but I think your analysis also makes sense
I hadn't heard of glass beach before now. Listening to the work they did before this release def payed off when I gave it a listen. I had trouble understanding the lyrics (both for this album and their previous work) so I can't say how much the lyrical content has shifted from their previous work (I believe their 2021 EP dealt with themes prevalent in plastic death but I didn't deep dive on the lyrics). Still, I felt like the expressiveness and emotion the band put into their songs really came through with this eclectic sound. I'm curious where they'll take things from here. Fav songs: slip under the door, cul-de-sac, 200 (200 is my fav rn)
YEASSS YEAAA GLASS BEACH GLASS BEACH
I just wanna share that I was listening to the relevant songs while listening to this pod, and it kept giving me shivers lol
GLASS BEACH MENTIONED!!!!!! one of my fav bands. loved this album even though its super different from their last they are both great
Absolutely loved all the reviews so far!!! Never heard of glass beach before this but their already siling up the list of my favourite bands so thank you for introducing me to them! I know its a bit of an older album and you probably wanna check out current albums but you should definitely give 'believe in me who believes in you' by Aries a go because it is my all time favourite album and Aries is criminally underrated. Keep up the great work!!!
Ok we got glass beach when we getting plastic beach?!?!?!?
i thought the same thought haha
-alex
wait this is mika and aztro from sleep deprived? and yall listen to glass beach??? bro i wouldn't have guessed yall fwd their music. this makes me so happy man
i wish i wasnt a basic white girl so i could know any of these ppl u talk about 💔
Knowledge spawns from pursuit!
Gotta get out there and listen to stuff :) listen to this album, and if you like it look up what albums are similar.
no way i love glass beach im so happy my favorite podcast with aztrosist and mika made an episode on them!
GLASS BEACH MENTIONED!!!!!!!
I LOVE GLASS BEACH!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS SINCE 2020
this episode was reallly good i didnt really understand the album but this really helped!!! also do an episode on twin fantasy
its honestly jarring to hear alex and astrid be serious, but i think its also a nice break from the chaos and comedic stupidity over on sleep deprived. definitely gonna listen to this more.
side note: i love how alex sounds so focused when conveying their points, and i love how astrid sounds when she starts laughing at the transitions, very good combo of people.
side note 2: it is with sincere regrets that i ask you to review will wood's normal album. if you do: i apologize for the people that end up following suit from said review
I LOVE GLASS BEACH
great episode guys! BOOLOO CAP 4 more years! get it?? anyways, for more guitar focused albums, you guys should check out Dying Fetus' 2023 album "Make Them Beg For Death"!
This podcast has allready the cutest community, luv you guys🥰
Dang y'all. Such intricate analysis, great conversation, amazzzing visuals, such personality in your podcast. This is the first I'm hearing of you, and I'm so impressed by the overall quality I'm seeing from your relatively small channel. You deserve to be so much bigger. Ill be listening in the future.
This band has potential I’m excited what they do next.
I do have a point, do bear with me yall :)
I'm someone whose engagement with music is fairly surface-level. While I absolutely recognize music as an artform with as much depth as any other and while I occasionally enjoy seeking that depth within musical pieces, to me music is usually something in the background or as a part of an audio-visual experience/work.
When I listen to a song, my mind doesn’t automatically seek or find those deeper, more artistic connections within it. What it does often instantly and unconsciously seek to connect the piece of music to, is an accompanying visual element. Usually in the form of a cinematic scene or other video-like visual.
I’m a photographer and a while ago, after having just taken a photograph, a friend of mine saw that photo and said something to akin to - “Why’d you take that picture” - to which I responded to saying something like - “Well that composition brings out so and so, which reinforces that feeling those colors in the shadows create and all that builds on the story of this photo” - Hearing that he seemed puzzled, It felt like he understood the more ‘technical’ reasons but that ‘story’ part was kind of lost on him. After a bit he said - “I didn’t really see it at first, but after you said it… yeah, i see that story part you talked about.” - And that really stuck with me. What felt obvious for me to see and experience as part of that genre of art was something they just didn’t get as easily.
And I recently realized that what he experienced back all those years ago is what I feel like listening to this podcast.
It feels like finding and experiencing those more artistic levels within the music you review comes easier to you than me, and It's really cool to hear about that process of exploring these tracks from both of your perspectives. Listening to the podcast and being like “Oh, i didn't see that” or maybe even realizing I've missed an angle completely is a super fun experience.
So yeah, thanks for sharing these podcasts with us
God this is beautiful
I'M GLASSING OUUUTTT!!!!!
clearly you haven't heard the glass beach fart at 6:46 on commatose
yayy!! i loved this album i'm glad u guys did a review of it :^] also in regards to emo that music that astrid might be a bit more into you could check out 125 rue monomartre, i hate sex, your arms are my cocoon or guitar fight from folly cooly, they seem like they might be up her alley
oh wow it's out! I GOTTA CHECK IT OUT
i love glass beach :3
love this video!!!! fucking love this album
glass beach band
I’m mixed on this album. need to listen to it again
Can I just say how much I LOVE this podcast. I'm always so excited when a new episode comes out and I get to listen to new music and then listen to you two talk about it. Its just super fun
Astrid said they split their listening of the album up into different listenings but here i am doing that with the podcast review lol
I'm gleaching so hard rn
the thing about coelacanths is that scientists thought they were extinct for a very long time until they found a small family of them in a cave
edit: i didnt realise you already mentioned it in the video 😭😭
YEAHHHH GLASS BEACH
Love this album! Love you two so much ❤
This is like the first recent album that I’ve listened to before the video came out [even tho the only recent ones have been this & Quaranta
GLASSS BEEAACCHHH
Another great review as always. You two are always so insightful towards music and it honestly makes me change my perspective on some songs and look at them in a different light. You’ve also introduced me to some great new music!
Have you guys thought about potentially having a discord? Just for people
To post and chat more about music.
The first album I’ve actually listened to! I’ll finally understand what they’re talking about?
I NEED you guys to review underscores - wallsocket
You guys should talk about the newest Future Islands album that came out today sometime! Love the podcast!
great video! january is a big month for music i like.
im still waiting patiently for you to reupload the pablo honey episode but for new music i hope yall take a look at wall of eyes from the smile :)
glass preach
okay now this is awesome!! :3
Sorry im a hour late, had to listen to the entire album first 🐱
PEAK
so i played the CIA over jjk op 4, and if you line up the first drum hit with the title card, the lyrics "vacant eyes" land right on gojo staring into the camera lmao
Last post, but much like Astrid hears the Pokemon theme in the Commatose, I can't disassociate Puppy from the Goo Goo Dolls' Slide. Once you hear the guitar chords in the post chorus you won't be able to unhear it. I've also made this comparison on three different videos, but I promise this isn't driving me insane.
glass beach mentioned 💪💪💪
Love glass beach
This is acc a dream come true
Glass Beach
Y’all GOTTA talk about the new Smile record.
5:25 Literally the Bill Cipher hunt lol
oh my goodness glas beach
