Pretty Bitter’s ‘Pleaser’, The New Yorker calls out the declining state of music criticism, and more.
On the Season 17 premier of Discologist, Eduardo and Kevin catch up after a long Summer, ponder the role of critics in the modern music landscape, and discuss the wonders of Pleaser, the latest (and AOTY-contender) from Washington, D.C.’s Pretty Bitter.

Pretty Bitter
When you hear Mel ask “what happens to a body when it’s scared?” in the middle of Thrill-Eater, the second track on Pretty Bitter’s pretty terrific new album, Pleaser, you have some feelings - especially if you’re walking around an occupied city. Pleaser is both polished and earnest, and it’s about more than just the present moment, as one of DC’s raddest young bands has a contemplative and mature moment and gives us a record that will be fun to age with. — Eduardo
