On this week's episode of The Listening Room we're taking a look at a very distinct style of Post-hardcore with Circa Survive's On Letting Go. Reverb, Delay, Distortion, and vague lyricism abounds but it's just too good to overlook what was a pivotal experimental exercise in post-rock for my teenage ears.

On this week's episode of The Listening Room I delve into a little bit of neo-prog/art/indie rock (or something of the sort) with The Decemberists EP: The Tain. Can it really be called progressive if it's a callback to the 70s? I don't know, but it's good.

On this week's episode of The Listening Room I finish off My Dinosaur Life, complete with a bit of a misstep, a lot of fun, a little darkness, and finally, an anthem of hope.

I decided to lighten things up a bit with some pop-punk. Pop-punk is pretty light, right?
Right?
Well, it usually is but My Dinosaur Life by Motion City Soundtrack actually touches on some pretty heavy themes like addiction and reaping the rewards of a life wandering aimlessly, albiet with melodic hooks galore.

In the third and final installment of listening to Eisley's The Valley, I'm actually able to finish out the rest of the album.
Love, loss, tragedy, and what we can learn in the midst of the whirlwind of life are all themes featured heavily on this album, it's not for the faint of heart.
