whole album is perfect but From The Morning has always hit me the hardest for some reason. it feels like the sun rising after a rainy night. the perfect ending.

I think if Elliot Smith and Nick Drake were put in the same room, they would kiss passionately.

this is so lovely and maudlin and delicately crafted and intimate and I still don't entirely know how to feel about it?



"You wouldn’t find either Hazey Jane tracks on Pink Moon, because they’re too busy: the melodies are more slippery, the pacing erratic as though Bryter Layter is the anxiety to Pink Moon’s acceptance. In other words, it’s more like what we know of Nick Drake at the time: awkward, nervous, and scared. Here instead we get songs like Road."



I like this review a lot, but had the opposite reaction here - the songs on Bryter Layter are definitely busier, but they also feel smoother and more self-assured to me (definitely easier to casually vibe with). Dig this one precisely because of how anxious and insular it vibes to me

pink moon and place to be and from the morning definitely dont feel anxious to me, but some of it definitely does. maybe a structural thing, with bookending effects a bit different from what's in the middle.

Hmm agreed on those tracks, and I guess on a passive listen a lot of this is quite chill - but the more attention I've paid, the more morose and uncomfortable it sounds. All v delicately balanced of course - "Know" and "Parasite" are I guess the extreme examples, but damn doesn't "Horn" sound like the most lonesome thing?

I’d listen again, but it kind of sounds like entering the dark night of the soul but coming out on the other side, but also starting from a manageable therapeutic place

I like that read - currently unsure whether that initial, calm standpoint suggests readiness for what lies ahead, or an unawareness of just how long and dark the night ahead is to be though. Gorgeous journey either way

i think there's this element of essentially preserving his soul in this album that you can't really find to the same degree elsewhere
