So far I don't think this even tops American Slang. I've give it a few more spins. I still say Elsie is the best thing Brian Fallon has ever done.

Congrats on the feature.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

Album Rating: 4.5

Thanks, I didn't realize this got featured. Man, I can't believe I missed that!

Album Rating: 4.0

This is hovering between a 4 and 4.5 for me- need a few more spins to be sure. I'm really enjoying the Pearl Jam influence on this, I think Desire is my favourite track at the moment.

Digging: Laura Marling - Once I Was An Eagle

Anyone see where in hell this band can go next without turning into a totally irrelevant "woah-oh-oh" Springsteen cover band?

Digging: Owen - L'Ami du Peuple

This is good but I don't see any reason why anyone should give this more than a 4.

Album Rating: 4.0

As long as their lyrics keep this kind of consistent quality, I don't have much fear for that to happen.

Digging: Gold Panda - Half of Where You Live
