The Top 30 Albums Of 2019 (So Far): Methyl Ethel – 'Triage'

"Webb has said Triage, thematically, is a 'coming-of-age' album, and it's true in more ways than one. He has perfected the art of assimilating pop tropes and making them his own." – Tim Kroenert

Jake Webb’s songwriting has always been solid. Perth knew it on Oh Inhuman Spectacle, the rest of the world started paying attention on Everything Is Forgotten (we’re still questioning why’d you have to go and cut your hair?) and now it’s more than apparent on Triage. 

While there’s still the constant comparison to another psychedelic outfit from Perth, Webb relies entirely on his own brand of synth-driven psych-pop. There’s plenty of earworms to burrow their way into your subconscious here.
