Calicoco — Heal Me [indie rock] (2021)

  • I just have to say: I am so tired of these highly literal songs about self that are so popular in the pseudopunk scenes.

    the composition is boring

    the lyrics are solipsistic and insistent of a meaning they refuse to offer for lack of examination on behalf of the writer, and the message is so fucking played out and old-hat that it suggests the writer has either not vested interest in this ground being covered, or (morelikely) is completely aware and unembarassed to write a less poignant musing on the same formula

    the mixing is stale – vocals too present (again, nagging at the ear to listen to hear the lyrics more than anything else), bass is absent if not too mid-heavy, and the splashing drums are genuinely rough on the ear in that they’re too piercingly pitched

    also the video sucks
