HOF: The Clientele - The House Always Wins

The dreamy, ethereal vibe of this really reminds me of another band but I can't quite place it. I don't listen to a great deal of music like this, but this is really pleasant. I can hear a classic rock influence in here, like all those famous 60s bands, as well as 90s stuff like Brit Pop. It's quite simple and relies quite heavily on those breathy vocals, which I have no problem with. This impressed me enough that I will check out at least one album, see how it fits. I don't find I have a great deal to say about it, other than it's a style that I find myself slowly being drawn towards, even though I'm not fully invested in it...yet.

6.5/10

Hey, I'm just glad you're interested in hearing more! It's not really a style I listen to much myself, but they are a great band. This particular song just happens to be one I've been listening to a bunch lately, and it's been hitting me in the right spot for whatever reason.

I think you nailed the description of their style. It's somewhere in between 60s rock and Brit-pop, maybe a bit like early Radiohead. But that's moreso on their first two albums, which both have this dreamy, kind of lo-fi production. Almost like you are listening to an AM radio station. After that they became a bit more modern sounding and stylistically drifted off towards orchestral/baroque pop with an Indy rock vibe, a little folky at times too. I like those first two albums a lot (this song is from their second album The Violet Hour), but their later stuff is a bit more accessible. If you liked this, probably should start with The Violet Hour or the first one, Suburban Light. My favorite albums from them are Strange Geometry and Music for the Age of Miracles, which are both worth checking out even if you don't like either of the first two.

I guess now I have to think of something else to send!

Well I should have sent something more hardcore and punchy like Run the Jewels tbh but I'll try think of something else now

Revenge319: Toraboruta - Kokoro

First off, let me say I respect the hell out of you for sending this. I know we've talked about your love for this style of music before, as well as your trepidation in sharing that here on DTF. I love people who will unashamedly shout out their passion for music that others don't get. There are elements of this I like, mainly the symphonic parts. The bits I can't get past are all the EDM bits, as I'm not an EDM fan at all, and the vocals. This style of vocals is just not for me. Back in the day, me and a friend used to hit up the Dance Dance Revolution games in the local arcade, and this song feels like it would be at home on one of those games. That is in no way a knock at all. There are parts of this that I just can't get past unfortunately and it's just not for me. Don't be disheartened though, as I've said before the songs that end up scoring highest roulette I feel will be sent by those who have the balls to take a risk.

3/10

Well, hey, I knew I was taking a huge risk sending this.

I'll probably stick to relatively safer options going forward, though, because if you're not a fan of the vocals, then I doubt you'd enjoy the vocals in any of the other songs like this that I had in mind to send you. And while I don't necessarily care about what score I get by the end of the roulette, I wouldn't want to keep sending you songs that you'd likely not enjoy to the point of giving them as low a score as a 3/10.
I'll try to get my next submission to you soon, and hopefully whatever it is that I pick next will be a song you enjoy more than this one!

Nice, glad you liked it! Nothing else on that album is quite as special as Best of You as they're all a bit more straightforward in themselves, but it's a great album and there's a terrific variety of styles and influences between songs.

I know what band I'm sending for round 4, just can't decide which of three short songs to send. Damn your single-song submissions!

Elite: Semistereo - The Search

Semistereo are one of the few bands this round I had heard previously, within the last year or so. I'm sure it was via DTF that I heard of them, and it was this album that I checked out. Anyway, why do I feel underwhelmed by this? It seems to tick all the boxes on first listen. I kept hoping this was going to grow more than it did, and feel that it had the potential to grow more, but 5 or 6 listens obviously isn't enough. I like the chugging riffs and it's got the right amount if heavy for a song like this. For some reason this makes me think of bands like Oceansize and Amplifier, but nowhere near as good as those bands.

7/10

I'm pretty sure it was through me that you've seen them on DTF, as I'm likely the first person to have sent them in roulettes. And I've sent them, most likely this very track as well, in quite some roulettes. I must say that a 7/10 is kind-of underwhelming in that regard, since even a couple of years after this album was released (it was one of my top albums in 2017) and with my musical preference shifting away from prog in general, I still think this is a great song and album. But then it;s probably not everyone's cup of tea.

Since I didn't get any gifpression for this track, here's one:

Whoever that mystery slacker is must be crazy to have not sent until now!

Oh, by the way, I sent for Round 4 just now.
