also biggest memetake of the year since skele's push to abolish taiwan:

they really know how to fuse a lot of genres and ideas together into a unique and seamless set of tracks that is up there with the likes of King Krule, Moses Sumney, Frank Ocean, Nnamdi, and even Genesis Owusu. Everything comes together so well that it?s like the genre of young fathers is its own idea. However, the main flaw with this new album that has always plagued the band is the utter mess of a record it comes off as. ?Heavy Heavy? is probably meant to sound cluttered, but for me most of the tracks here sound rushed, underperformed, or underwriter (if not all these).

Is underwriter when the writer kills himself off in the story? Is this the Coheed thread?

Oh fuck yeah, liked their last one, but felt like they needed to stand out in some way

This seems right up that alley

Rhythmic and hypnotic, this rules

My only complaint is that I wish they added songs like In My View or Shame alongside these ritualistic songs, I'd rate it higher

Never listened to Young Fathers before. Gave this a spin because of Rowan's high praise and I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying it. Saw the hip-hop tag and was perhaps expecting a tad more bite, but otherwise this is very smooth/mesmerizing and has my interest.

i only really hear the similarities on Sink or Swim and Drum. even then it's closer to 'AnCo if AnCo wasn't overwhelmingly white'



anyway welcome newcomers, please do yourselves a favour and check White/Black. one of the best albums of last decade
