November 30, 2018 Albumism Staff

#20
The Internet
| Hive Mind
Columbia

According to Matt Koelling: “Somehow, The Internet are still pioneering how to sound like an R&B garage band, while being organically grown online.

Perhaps what’s most encouraging is that while Hive Mind elevates and updates their formulas, it’s still very clearly not the band’s final step. What will eventually be the best album by The Internet is the one they haven’t made yet. But in the meantime, the in-between time, like the soundtrack to your 2018 Summertime, let’s consider ourselves blessed, and take what we can get.”
