Tropes a-plenty.

See that article title? Right up there? I could let you dig around for the obscure reference I’m making but why bother? You should know that Pitchfork doesn’t approve of the song I’m recommending right now. TURN BACK OR YOU WON’T BE COOL ANYMORE.

If you’re like Anne Hutchinson and don’t care about pitchforks (Get it? Do you? Sorta?), then please sample a fun song from Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band’s Daytrotter session, “Albatross, Albatross, Albatross”. It may be too cliché for you (there’s still time to turn back, Pitchfork mob), but if you like goofy-ish music made by a twelve-year-old drummer, some blond scraggly guy, a typical indie grrrl and that one chubby dude who’s just good at what he does—then, please, take a listen.

Otherwise, please turn back. This album got a 3.9 on Pitchfork. A three-point-nine. You might as well be Roger Williams for all the banishment you’ll face.
