The Daily Spin II

Forth Wanderers | Slop

Welcome back to the Daily Spin. For the uninitiated, this is the series in which I review an album every day of 2025.

As was the case two years ago, my favorite song from each album can be found at the playlist linked here.

Album: Slop (2016)

Artist: Forth Wanderers

Quick hitter for your Friday - converse to the insanely lovely weather we’re having up here in Minneapolis, I went with a more overcast EP. Sometimes to tamp down the heat a bit, since it’s going to be nearly ninety degrees and I’m not sure any of us remember how to act in weather like that.

Good, solid midwestern emo here - the title is very inaccurate, as I wouldn’t call this ‘slop’ in any sense of the word. It’s not perfect - some of the music gets a little slow and plodding past what might be enjoyable - but on the surface and beneath, this is a really nice little consistent record to jam to.

Rating: 7/10
