The common thread uniting every 10/10 banger album from the Bay in the last few years (including mine of course 🙃)?

I had the good fortune of writing today's Album Of The Day review for Bandcamp Daily / @bandcamp.com, linked below. It's about the excellent new album from San Francisco jangle-pop perfectos The Telephone Numbers, out now on @slumberlandrecords.com.

The Telephone Numbers, “Scarecrow II”

San Francisco's most underrated indie pop band are back with a collection of 10 punchy tunes about hazy memories, fading aspirations, and the impermanence of life.

There is a cease fire in Gaza but still no jobs and my friend and brother Mohamed's land lies in the security buffer zone. He cannot go home.

It’s pretty thrilling to hear the music I’ve released under my name played on the radio. Hope I never get over that feeling!

And @djdumars.bsky.social’s pronunciation of my decidedly unmarketable name è stato perfetto 👌
