2021 Songs So Far - Round 1.2

Post by Schüttelbirne »

Welcome to the first round for the 2021 edition of Songs So Far!

All you have to do is listen to the songs and vote for your favorite in the individual matchups.
You may only vote if you have actually heard all the songs in the matchup you're voting for.

The deadline is Friday, 30 July, so I can disclose the results one week from now (but if you need more time, just tell me).

If you want to see the entire bracket, go to this post.

Here's this week's matchups:

1. Arab Strap | Just Enough vs. San Salvador | La grande folie
2. Cassandra Jenkins | Hard Drive vs. Lorem Ipsum | Sergeï
3. Sharon Van Etten & Angel Olsen | Like I Used to vs. Train fantôme | Nous sommes dans un rêve
4. Snapped Ankles | Psithurhythm vs. The Weather Station | Robber
5. Middle Kids | Bad Neighbours vs. Liz Phair | Hey Lou
6. Godspeed You! Black Emperor | Our Side Has to Win (D.H.) vs. Mdou Moctar | Afrique Victime
7. Lana Del Rey | Dark But Just a Game vs. Japanese Breakfast | Be Sweet
8. BRUIT ≤ | The Machine Is Burning vs. Lord Huron | I Lied

Here's the playlist:



The Lorem Ipsum track can be found here:
You can find the BRUIT track on YouTube, but not on an official channel, so here's the link to their Bandcamp (with video):

I missed out on nominating Vietnamese music and South Korean music to this tournament. Anyways, here we go

1. Arab Strap | Just Enough vs. San Salvador | La grande folie
Slightly prefer the latter

2. Cassandra Jenkins | Hard Drive vs. Lorem Ipsum | Sergeï
Easy choice

3. Sharon Van Etten & Angel Olsen | Like I Used to vs. Train fantôme | Nous sommes dans un rêve
Also an easy choice

4. Snapped Ankles | Psithurhythm vs. The Weather Station | Robber
"Robber" is so gorgeous

6. Godspeed You! Black Emperor | Our Side Has to Win (D.H.) vs. Mdou Moctar | Afrique Victime

7. Lana Del Rey | Dark But Just a Game vs. Japanese Breakfast | Be Sweet
When Lana sings with a more "open" manner, her songs come alive. Nevertheless, "Be Sweet" is the superior song

8. BRUIT ≤ | The Machine Is Burning vs. Lord Huron | I Lied
