THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
Hornet Disaster is Weatherday’s most expansive work to date. In the initial bout of inspired writing and recording, they produced over 70 songs for the record, but not before they had a complete, overarching narrative that was coherently tied back to previous work. It’s a bustling record with disparate songs each vying for spacelike wasps in a swarm. It can inspire caution and chaos, but there’s wonder, purpose, and a certain familiarity there, too. Weatherday has extended the knotted, thrashing maximalism of Come in by doubling down with the uncompromized, no-stone-unturned nature of Hornet Disaster. Where Come in was the product of an artist searching for their voice, Hornet Disaster represents the joyful abandon that comes from having found it.
“Angel” is an absolute earworm, one of several that litter Hornet Disaster’s 19-song tracklist. ... Overall, Hornet Disaster is at once more emo and more aggressive than Come In, but also far hookier and less directionally cumbersome. Everything flows a little more evenly, but all the quirks that made Come In so alluring — multi-character lyrical perspectives, elastic vocal deliveries, scattered electronic detours — remain intact. -Stereogumdamn imagine buying this tho →

Their sing-song, matter-of-fact phrasing and guitar melodies are memorable, and the harmonies are lovely, with the staying power to drift in my head for days on end. -NPR
from the archive
At the intersection of punk and math rock, you'll find four French weirdos from Montreal, Canada. Dog Bless finds Gulfer building upon their established recipe of gruff vocals, driving—but intricate—rhythms, and bright, noodly melodies. The result is a cohesive listen that ebbs and flows over twelve dynamic tracks.
I'm including this record here intentionally, as I think that a lot of what Gulfer does will resonate with anyone who likes Weatherday. Dog Bless is a favorite of mine, personally, and I hope you'll check it out! -kevin check it out →
