if you're not too afraid of covid (which hey) and like this album, and especially if you like the band iceage, go see them. I mean their drummer is now their guitarist and the multiinstrumentalist is now the drummer which is weird but it'll be awesome
anyways I'll give this a fuller listen tonight maybe

the tiny desk is cool too. that place they shot it in was like a 2 minute walk from my apartment during early covid

This is amazing. The Constable in particular is unreal. I don't get the low scores either, this could be a 5 after a few more spins. One of the best finds of 2021.

I don't really dig this tbh lol, feel like for me the songwriting isn't quite there. But them live performing the Willow (2018) material was top 5 shows oat (hmm...converge, st. vincent, gustaf, then a tie between a bunch of other shows for that #5 spot) so I guess I gotta rep

The Constable is great. The overall pacing works well. This album makes me feel occasionally unsettled, which is thrilling.

Yeah the whole thing keeps you off balance. I can see how maybe the orchestration and overall grandeur might turn some people off, but I'm a sucker for epic posturing and the dark tones here are really intense which keeps this from feeling cheesy, to me.

should definitely check Willow when you can Sowing, it's more on the punkier and (at times) upbeat side of things but maintains a strong sense of atmosphere similar to this album if a bit more abstract and unsettling at times.

"the songwriting isn't quite there"
Totally agree, the whole project is a bit schticky. At least in interviews she's honest about doing things for attention, I appreciate that, and made me want to like it more, but it's actually too easily digestible.

I don't know...I can't help loving this. The melodies are huge and the atmosphere surprisingly morbid. This could crack my top 10 of 2021.

Yes Sowing! The point two minutes into Party Anthem where the horns come in and everything lets loose is probably my favorite music moment of the year

Party Anthem is great. I heard it and was like "yes! this is going to make the album" but then there were like 3-4 better tracks which is just sheer absurdity. Jesus and The Constable might be my two favorites with the latter being #1. I just love how it weaves such morbidity into a two-tone tale of endings; one on a grand scale like the end of the world and the one on a microscale like the end of her own life or perhaps even just a relationship (a lot of the verses seem to allude to her inability to let go of an abusive ex-partner - even in the wake of the apocalypse, she sits on the doorstep of where he used to live and tunes out the chaos). I'm ever-convinced too that the dog is a metaphor for her - taking either literal or metaphorical (emotional) beatings from this man. It could be argued that the world isn't actually ending, just the world she knew with this person (hence the theme of renewal with the new years countdown). It's 9 minutes of brilliance and I really need to do a deeper dive into the lyrics on the rest of the songs here.

I liked this, especially the arrengements and the instrumentation. But the simple structures of the songs betrays a somewhat lack of ideas to where to take some of them after the basic idea is introduced. Like, instrumentally the songs are done way before the are done narratively.
But overall i liked it.

I feel the exact opposite. The tracks here wind and progress so much that some of them almost seem like multi-part movements; obv. The Constable is the best case-in-point although Jesus and Madison also help make that case. I'm not saying the entire thing is ever-shifting, but compared to most pop outings I think this is pretty inventive & unafraid of movement.

I'm not saying it isnt trying, just that it doesn't really get there for me, at least.
