I get that the band considered this an LP but man the new one is such a well-constructed statement and feels so much more like an LP that it’s kind of a shame that it’s not technically their debut.

this record slaps and is far superior to the new one. first two songs have NMH all over them, as does the new album's closer

Why must y'all try to dilute my enjoyment of The Whaler by comparing it to that overrated indie folk shit

lol brandon macdonald is v open about NMH influence, and if you can't hear Jeff Magnum behind half her lyrics, you're gonna need a reading comp rerun

"entire discog except heritage"



well damn that worked better than expected



aeroplane is far from a personal classic, but i ain't gonna hear shit about lyricism or songwriting on anything from anyone who doesn't understand that album

heritage was of major disappointment to me bc i went in hoping the prog rock era would carry on the same feel as Damnation but they abandoned that entirely on that one.

i probably need to give it like 600 listens to "get it" but i shouldnt have to with a genre as simple as indie folk

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6nUERnqhjzjj16NkmEaWcw?si=109e0afe89924935 everything here has evoked more emotion for me than all of aeroplane, i ended up dismantling most of this list forever ago but the stuff there still does it for me
