Looking for some song/album recs for these guys. Been having Black Lake on playlist for a bit but looking for some more of their stuff. Thanks

Days is my favorite album of theirs.

Days
I have not listened to the entire album.

I love Days. The last 3 minutes of "All the Same" are great for night driving.

ALL their Work is great! Look forward to new stuff

Atlas is a fantastic album. Definitely in my top 5 of 2014.

It's my favorite of the last few years. What did you think was better back then?

Do you mean Sunny Day Real Estate???

Days is my favorite of their work as well, followed closely by their self-titled debut.
Check out Martin Courtney (lead singer)'s solo album released late last year titled Many Moons. It more or less sounds just like Real Estate with a bit more variety. I really, really enjoy it.

Many Moons (title track)
The whole album is on YewTewb.

Great question! Here was my post from that year on another board. Unfortunately, it's in reply to someone else, so a bit of context is missing. It's still kind of fun to go back and reminisce on what I thought about music that year:
quote:
First of all, I'm glad to see that Swans made your best of the year list. That was mine as well. I think it suffered a lot, in critic eyes, from from the success of the Seer as well as dropping early in the year. Still, I'm not sure that there was another album that had the impact on me as this one (and that's saying something with my love for RTJ2).
I didn't put RTJ2 up top, either. I loved the album. I really did. However, the hype leading up to it was absolutely incredible for me. The videos. The Meow the Jewels kickstarter. The huge essays detailing the friendship of Mike and Jaime. I was more in love with these guys before the album dropped than I've ever been with any other artists. As such, it was nigh impossible for the album to not slightly disappoint. It's probably around 2 or 3 on my best of list, so it didn't disappoint much.
I was also happy to see Panopticon on your list. I loved Kentucky, but didn't even realize that they'd (technically he?) had released another album until it started showing up on all the end of lists. Anyway, I liked this one quite a bit as well.
The TVOTR album is the first one of theirs that my wife has said, "Who is this?" when grabbed her phone and quickly added it to her Spotify playlist. That has to be significant in some way because I've tried to hook her on them with every album they've released to no avail. This one stuck, though.
I STILL haven't gotten to listen to the D'Angelo album with headphones, but I've listened to it like 6 times on our portable bluetooth speaker. It's funny that you say it needs headphones, though, because that's exactly what I said to someone else online when discussing the album. There's just a lot of fuzzed out stuff and layers in the production that I think will sound better on headphones.
Now for the omissions:
Water Liars Water Liars: Probably my favorite band in the world right now. Justin is from my area. They've been playing in small venues here a long time. They're literate as hell, and they make music that really just appeals to my southern upbringing.
Hiss Golden Messenger Lateness of Dancers: one of my friends is probably the biggest Sturgill Simpson fan boy I know. Like, he's obsessed with him and wants to start doing DMT at 40 basically because Sturgill does. For me, Hiss Golden Messenger does everything that Sturgill Simpson doesn't. They're not really analagous bands, but if I've got to put a "country" type band for 2014 on my list, then I'm going with these guys.
YOB: Clearing the Path to Ascension. This was the year of Doom for me. Pallbearer. YOB. SunnO))). Earth. Damn it was a good year in Doom. Despite my Arkansas love for Pallbearer. YOB's album was the best of the bunch, imo.
Giant Squid. Minoans. I probably shouldn't be able to include this, because I didn't even discover it until Stereogum released their best of metal list. But damn. I like this album a lot. You know I like my "metal" mixed with some other genres. And this album keeps me interested from start to finish.
Atlas. Real Estate. Yes. It's a throwback. It's probably not even their best album. Damn if I didn't listen to it a lot on road trips, though.
Pharaohe Monch: PTSD. I listened to this concept album quite a bit after it first dropped. There are some clunkers on here, but I found the whole album to be his most accessible and enjoyable offering from his catalog.
YG: My Crazy Life. I probably listened to this rap album more than any other. That's in large part because my rap listening often happens at the gym, and this album suits my needs for "gym music" more than any other. Still, I loved this.
Finally: Y no War on Drugs? (just kidding. Outside of the first couple of tracks, I didn't love it as much as everyone else seemed to, either.)

Or Kurt Vile's latest. We saw him on this tour and he sucked. He was good three years ago when we saw him.

So, they post these horrible shoes on Facebook and say each pair comes with a cassette, yes cassette, of previously unreleased material.
