"Morose" is a good description -- that, and how comfortable it is in it.

@Blushful, definitely "Brittle Boned" (I love how much the song builds throughout), and the final track, that piano is gorgeous and I love the ending ambience.

Something's so, so sad. And Brittle Boned is incredible, some of the album's best lyrics.

Yeah, it and Vessels have the clearest Daughter influence I think, who happen to adopt those post rock elements in their own brand of sad kinda indie music.

Yeah i do hear a bit of post rock in Brittle Boned for sure, not one of my favorites if i'm being honest.

Brittle Boned is one of the lesser songs, I agree. I'm at the point where I can look past most if not all of this album's flaws, though, and connect to it all. Otherwise this'd be more like a strong 3.5.

I love albums like that, where you reach a point of connection or a level of relationship with a record that you can openly recognise its flaws yet still unconditionally love it for the connection its made with you

Fair enough, I think it's a 4.5 too, of course. It's more like this -- within the context of what I've listened to and rated, this one sort of just sticks out a bit in terms of what affects my enjoyment of an album. So, how much I connect to what's being said trumps what is usually a dislike for cliche; my penchant for sad, "genuine" singer-songwriters trumps some mixing issues, etc.



Hm... I guess we're both blinded by love. :')
