The top songs here are just incredible, specifically Grace, The October Song, and the title track are all some of the best things I've ever heard

Sweet random bump. Grace is my favorite here, but January Song and April Song are not far behind. These guys have talent, hope they keep their careers going!

Yep, for sure! This is my first spin of this album in a few months, and it still rules, so had to share some enthusiasm

Album is so so special and the band is extraordinarily kind and thoughtful

Grace is the most moving and realistic song about death I've ever heard

Yes the still rules hard but I had to bump down because sometimes it is just painful...you know in your heart it's true.

Hard not to return to this in the summer. Already has a feeling of nostalgia to me.

This album is one that I return to only like once a year, but it's the only thing that suits a particular mood

Thanks for putting me on the track of this, Sowing. I have repeatedly listened to this. I love the originality of the themes they sing about, from dealing with dementia to going through (late) teenage angst. Looking forward to what they will put out in the future.

The lead single is very lush and piano-driven, not too far removed from this LP. I think that song is coming out in about 1 week so stay tuned.

I will try to maintain my general policy of not checking singles before an album comes out, but very curious for this one. In general, I like their gentler side here, so that sounds promising
