    Couldn’t decide between posting this or “Dirty Mirror Selfie / Where Blue Light Blooms” but this had a cute dog so it won.

    Their new album, Feeling Not Found, is out.

    Origami Angel is making the best mid-2000s music this side of 2020.

      Ooh, I'm excited, going to have to check it out. I'm a huge fan of "Somewhere City", so I'll have to check this out when I get a minute!

    Ah, never expected to see Origami Angels here. I really enjoyed 'Somewhere City', less so with 'Gami Gang' but that almost felt like a pandemic-era concept album. I'll definitely be checking out their latest album tomorrow.

    Throwing out 'Carly Cosgrove' for those who like this stuff but who aren't as plugged into the east coast indie rock/emo scene and also their indie rock 00s mathy. Just saw them with You Blew It! in DIY SuperBowl last week and they're well worth it. Here's them performing at the famous First Unitarian playing their last LP and my favorite back to back tracks, "Cloudblock" and "Headaches"

      I’m also a big fan of ‘Somewhere City’, as well as Carly Cosgrove.

      This new Origami Angel album (Feeling Not Found) is good IMO, but I still like Somehwere City more - some of the songs from FNF are a little too garbly-loud for me (not sure if that makes sense…but I generally prefer the slower parts of their songs / more twinkly math rock aspects).

      Any other suggestions like Carly Cosgrove? Always trying to find more artists in that indie-emo/math rock vibe. I’ll personally throw out Michael Cera Palin’s 2018 EP “I don’t know how to explain it” and Majuro as some other artists I enjoy (that you might like checking out as well).

        Honestly probably not a lot stuff you haven't already heard of. I thought Philly bands like Hop Along, Little Big League, Everyone Everywhere. Some other compatriots like Into It. Over It , Their/They're/There, Pool Kids and even Crash of Rhinos.

        Going back further you have Faraquet which is pretty mathy. You could go weird/whine and do Brave Little Abacus , weird and go with Home Is Where, or just do whine and do Algernon Cadwallader.
