idk I remember not really vibing with her chirpy voice

there are some like Dido vibes here too which didn't really agree with me

nah I remember Barrel seeming really overrated to me, that's the most Dido

The title track is really Nick Drake but that’s not a problem



‘Weight of the Planets’ is my favourite

"basically this is mom-core and not the good kind"

far off base. if you're looking to bash, this is hugely hipster indie-folk without a doubt. watch the music videos.

heaven is empty is beautiful and reminds me of some of her sadgirl old stuff like Horizon which is a 5/5 song

title track sounds like a chilled out alanis morissette cover in a not good way. fixture picture is good stuff though, will see where this goes

yeah Designer is really the sole track I don't care for. The rest is more in line with Fixture Picture sans a couple gloomy tracks that are very good but more in line with her old stuff. Watch the vids to any tracks you like, the album is a grower and the vids elevate it. It's hard to get how tongue-in-cheek a lot of this is because she's so dead-pan but when you watch the videos you start to get it.

It's really easy to fall in love with her once you start watching her perform, she's a fucking freak.

Watched the Zoo Eyes video and think I get it a little, but I wanna know how long it took to get the makeup around her eyes to look like lego blocks. Gonna have to revisit and dig a little deeper tomorrow
