I believe Goated & Foreboded is Comfy’s sixth full-length album in their ten-year run, yet this is the first time we’ve covered the band. Which feels a bit odd, considering their energetic, catchy sound and strong DIY ethos. That said, the Rochester (NY) band themselves claim on Instagram that this is their best record yet. I can’t speak to their entire back catalog, but I do know this: Goated & Foreboded is a highly enjoyable indie punk/power pop album that should appeal to fans of early ’00s indie rock and ’90s geek rock alike.

The loud-quiet-stop-start-fast-easy dynamics work wonders, making for a record packed with instant hits. Check out some of my favorites below.
