  June 2024 - Albums I have listened to

  Pete Brown

  This one came up in my recommendations feed. Arcwelder is yet another one of those bands that I have always been aware of but had never actually listened to.

  I like it on first listen. It bears a lot of similarity to Hüsker Dü which makes sense, given that these guys came out of the late-80s Minneapolis rock scene. The vocals are quite reminiscent of Bob Mould, but the music is not quite as frenzied. I appreciate that. Hüsker Dü is great but I sometimes find their albums to be a bit crazy-making.

  While I would not call this album essential listening, it's pretty good. I think that is fine—not every album (or band) has to be a classic or ground-breaking.
