The Lumineers - S/T
If there’s one band that is the face of the “millennial burger joint” meme, as well as how ridiculously corny that early 2010s indie-pop / folk-pop got, it’s The Lumineers. I remember being a big fan back in the day, but I haven’t kept up with them in a long time, let alone listened to them. The Lumineers blew up with the song “Ho Hey,” and I’ll be damned if that song isn’t the epitome of how corny folk-pop got in that era. Hell, it became known as the “stomp clap hey” sound, because that song “pioneered” that sound, so to speak. In retrospect, it’s easy to see why people hated these bands, but I was there when the ancient text was being written. I was a fan of these bands, and it was truly something special. Maybe not special for people that hated them, but special for people that wanted to be apart of something.
The Lumineers have fallen off in recent years, but their debut is a great slice of indie folk-pop. I found a copy of it online recently, and I was compelled to check it out, because I’ve already been listening to some stuff in that vein. I got some albums from Band Of Horses, The Shins, Vampire Weekend, and a bunch more stuff, so I figured this album wouldn’t hurt as well. I haven’t heard it in about a decade, but I remember still enjoying it, albeit for different reasons, and I’d say I feel that way about listening to it a handful of times after picking it up. It’s a pretty fun, catchy, and whimsical indie-folk-pop album that has some good hooks, lyrical nuggets, and a good sound. Now it’s not perfect, and it does have a dated sound, but I still really like it.
This is one of those albums that I can admit isn’t anything amazing, but I’m a sucker for it. I love a lot of tracks here, but they’ve got a generic folk-pop sound that don’t really do anything worthwhile, although they’re catchy and fun. The lyrics are also pretty good, even if they teeter on corny at times. “Ho Hey” is a good example of that, but it’s still a lot of fun for what it is. The album has its slower moments, and their vocalist doesn’t always make them work, at least with how his voice isn’t anything amazing. I tend to zone out when the slower songs pop up, but at the same time, they aren’t bad. The album isn’t that long, as it’s only 42 minutes, but it can feel a bit lengthy at times, especially when it moves slower. I don’t know, I quite enjoy this album, even if it’s not the best folk-pop album of its era.

Been watching these gifs (credit to @phantomoftheorpheum ) circle while listening to "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers. Liking how it fits in my head. Having too much of an off day to do much more with the thoughts than that. But I felt like sharing.
Her recent favorite song
When the lumineers sang “so show me family all the blood that I will bleed. I don't know where I belong. I don't know where I went wrong” and when they sang “We were not born in sin” and when they sang “It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all. The opposite of love's indifference.” And when they sang “I hold on to a hope in my fate.” And again when they sang “And I can't feel no remorse And you don't feel nothing back.” An-
