Endless Scroll

It's the end of the month, so we're catching up on what we listened to in February. We're talking Anxious, Baths, Youth Lagoon, Glixen, Hooky/Winter, and more. 

Friend of the show Grace joins us for an episode of questions and answers, curated by Grace herself! We cover a lot of ground, from what songs we want to soundtrack our funerals and high-school experiences, to the differences between "boyfriend music" and "ex-boyfriend music." Grace has prompts, and Endless Scroll responds.  Read Grace's substack: https://ourbandcouldbeyourwife.substack.com/

In this very classic episode of Endless Scroll, we discuss three new albums: Oklou's 'Choke Enough,' Horsegirl's 'Phonetics On and On,' and Sleeper's Bell's 'Clover.' Also, some movie chatter. 

For this month's artist deep dive, we begin our journey with alt-country pioneer Lucinda Williams. In this episode, we tackle her 1988 self-titled and 1992's 'Sweet Old World,' and also take a quick detour into live-reacting to a Martina McBride music video. On the next episode, we'll review Lucinda Williams' next three albums, 'Car Wheels on a Gravel Road,' 'Essence,' and 'World Without Tears.'  Subscribe to our Patreon to hear the follow-up to this episode, along with 100s of others, in the bonus feed: https://www.patreon.com/c/endlessscrollpod

The end of the month happened, so we looked back on the music we listened to in January. Reviews of FKA twigs, Cameron Winter, Lucy Dacus, Japanese Breakfast, and more!

It's happening. We're doing the Elliott Smith dive. In this episode, we listen to the departed singer-songwriter's first three albums, 'Roman Candle,' 'Elliott Smith,' and 'Either/Or,' reacting to the music and sharing our broader thoughts about his work. In the next episode, which will drop in the bonus feed on January 24th, we'll be continuing this journey with 'XO,' 'Figure 8,' and 'From a Basement on the Hill.'

We're back! We return from our holiday break to predict what might happen to music in the year ahead, including our most anticipated albums of 2025. Let's goooo. 

After a few episodes of celebrating, it's time to cap the year off with some hating. Ian Cohen joins us once again for our annual Biggest Disappointments episode, tackling the albums that let us down most in 2024. 

It's here. All four of us count down our 10 favorite albums of 2024. Let's goooo!  What's your favorite album of the year? Vote here: https://t.co/8YIp9p1d1V

Eli, Eric, Miranda, and Michael discuss their five favorite songs of the year -- and also throw out some honorable mentions. Can you guess what the first-ever single to be inducted into the Endless Scroll 4x4 playlist will be?  Listen to our picks on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4jw9w6VRIOqHx0RgeiaiJu?si=ee9d6cea61d044d2

It's our first episode of list season! In this one, we talk about our favorite non-2024 music that we either discovered or got heavily into in 2024. Producer Cayla joins us to make it extra special. 

It's our last regular-season main feed episode before the post-season (list season) begins, so we're just kind of hangin' and chattin'. We revisit our 2024 predictions and see what we got wrong/right, recount our favorite gigs of the year, and bask in the serenity of casual banter before our series of Super Serious Year-End List Episodes kick off next week. Enjoy! 

With all four of us back in the house, we reveal the winner of our latest draft episode, answer a phone call, and then talk about albums that each of us like more than the general consensus. Artists discussed include Death Cab For Cutie, The Menzingers, Lorde, The Front Bottoms, and more. 

It's the end of the month so we took some time to chat about what we listened to throughout October. The new Halsey album 'The Great Impersonator' is first on the docket, but we also dig into Christopher Owens, Kelly Lee Owens, Tyler, the Creator, Tisakorean, Being Dead, Greg Mendez and more.

It's a classic diametrically opposed albums review ep. First, we tackle Touché Amoré's new record 'Spiral in a Straight Line.' Then, we dig into Charli XCX's 'Brat' remix album. 

In response to Pitchfork and Paste's lists of the 100 Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, we made our own half-decade top 10s. We talk about each other's picks, and also the albums that, perhaps surprisingly, didn't appear on any of our lists.  Subscribe to the Endless Scroll substack to read Miranda's top 10 later this week: https://endlessscroll.substack.com/
