Wow would you look at this, another album review for 2022! Now we are starting to get the great music come in.
Feels by the Croatia band Trophy Jump is a 30min album that is a joy to listen to, start to finish. I'm not usually a person that gravitates to lyrics first, but in this album that's exactly what I did. The lyrics are very relatable for someone who's in their early/mid adulthood. Singing about having to get up early to run because you worry about your health, then worrying about not being an interesting person without some beer or recreational drugs...yep all too relatable. It's all in good fun however, in a way that makes you feel understood, because Trophy Jump is right there with you- laughing and crying.
Then you get into the actual music itself, it's all high energy punk type music with traditional rock sensibilities. To copy a great quote I read (linked below in PersonalPunk.wordpress): "Jimmy Eat World skating with Sunny Day Real Estate? Fiddlehead camping out with Neutral Milk Hotel?". Honestly read the first two links below because they nail describing why this album is so frikin catchy and awesome.
You betcha this is a year end contender for me. Thanks Thepunksite.com for first introducing me to Feels!
