Putting aside how self conscious I am that half the songs I have on rotation right now are from actor-fronted bands...
Joe Keery's band has a new album out. What got me listening to them was the live version of End of Beginning that they played at shows before the album came out.
This is the album version of End of Beginning. While I like the album overall, I am not big into this version of the song. I really prefer the live version with the clearer vocals. He tries to disconnect Djo from That Dude From Stranger Things as much as possible, so I wouldn't be surprised if he does that multitrack thing to his vocals to sound less like him on purpose. But he's a really good vocalist and does some impressive work with tone so it's sad to see it muddied. The live versions of the songs make for crisp vocals and slight lo-fi-ified instrumentals and the album mix does the opposite.
But, if I am going to recc some Djo, I have to include On and On because it's a really good, catchy song and such a mood. This song really impressed me, both the music and the lyrics.
