This was a good week for those who enjoy reading words that I typed into the computer. Two Stereogum interviews I wrote, one with Molly Burch and one with Greet Death, were published earlier this week, and I'm proud of how both of them came out. And then there's this edition of Chasing Fridays, which is filled with thoughts on new music from shoegaze scene-leaders, rap up-and-comers, and indie-rock veterans.

For years, Greet Death’s music got better as their personal lives became more hopeless. The “suicide summer” incantations of their 2017 doomgaze debut, Dixieland, were downright cheery compared to the existential crises lining New Hell, the Michigan band’s heavier, more poignantly pretty 2019 follow-up, which situated them at the forefront of the nascent shoegaze renaissance. With their 2022 country-gaze EP, New Low, their outlook on life somehow descended even further.

In the big book of songs about the profession of being a songwriter, few are more candidly bleak than Molly Burch’s “Baby Watch My Tears Dry.” In the track from her 2023 album, Daydreamer, Burch croons, “I overthink like it’s my job/ Trying to please everyone/ So many times I feel I’ve failed to/ Create the things I’m told I’m meant to.” The chorus picks up, but the mood doesn’t, with Burch begging helplessly for “a little reassurance” to keep her from crying an ocean’s worth of tears.

This is one of the longest Chasing Fridays columns in a while – and for good reason. This week, Chasing Sundays surpassed 1500 subscribers, which is a number that I totally couldn't imagine achieving when I launched this blog a couple years ago. I'm insanely grateful that that many of you care about what I have to say about shoegaze, hardcore, rap, indie, etc.

Hello hello, hope your stock portfolios are doing alright this week amidst all this tariff bullshit and general destruction of the U.S. economy. Alas, we persist here at Chasing Sundays LLC, and so does the proliferation of new music. Hence why I'm eschewing this week's lookback on an older release and dedicating this particular newsletter to New Music Only.
