Ayyyye, CaimanJesus got me into this girl during my Greatest Hits Project. Will have to check this out.

Double post.

Great review!

@Tchitcherine Agreed, I think that's one of her all time best songs. Great vocal performance and beautiful guitar.

I like the album a lot, the addition of minimal electronics is a nice compliment to these songs and the vocals are given so much room to float around in. The only real issue I have is that the songs produced by Rizk sound drastically different from the rest of the record. Side A is pretty holistic and cohesive, but then Snake comes in at like 2x the volume of everything else, and the new version of Chapel is very weird. Kind of a bummer.

Hot damn this review is a beaut wow

Album Rating: 3.5

@Taxt Yes, I was annoyed by the different volume levels too. But overall a pretty nice album.



The lyrics of 'Uncle' are quite disturbing:



"Wet with spit, red with need

Three fingers in, you go deep

Reach inside me, please hide me

Somewhere they will never find me



I will always come to you

When I'm weak and empty

With my wedding night blues

When I need you to fill me

Like you do"

Saw her live once, opening for Citizen. It was fucking sludgy surprisingly.

Album Rating: 3.5

Like 'Sludge', the genre? oO

Yeah, to mix it up, I guess. She had a dirty looking band behind her and she played really fuzzy, distorted versions of her tracks that tour. Nothing ultra brutal mind you, but definitely caught me off guard lol

Album Rating: 3.5

Sounds interesting, I'd love to listen to it.

Album Rating: 3.5

enjoyed this but didnt find the instrumentals as strong as her last album. beautiful and bad was a rly cool track though, wish she mixed it up more like on that one.

Album Rating: 3.0

I want to be a bigger fan of this, but tracks like Uncle are just so unsettling I find it hard to listen to this much.

It's here, added it to the database!

Really enjoying the new one. Very delicate, mournful, and the production is so much better than Heart Shaped Bed.

listening now, never heard anything by her before, it's a lot of baby talk vox - sort of lo-fi Grimes singing style

finished that...trying the Ode to Dawn Wiener album and uh, it's already more compelling - goes for the dear diary sexual fantasy jugular

Doof, try Natural Born Losers I’d say, admittedly it’s the only other one of hers I’ve heard but seems to be the consensus pick for her. That said I can see her being kind of 3.0 ceiling sort of deal for you with those vocals.

I found the vocal style really homogenous first go but I’ll try some more - the ‘Dawn Wiener’ one was such a curio I’m sort of invested
