I feel like the thing to mind is not "near" itself, nor "sugar" nor "project 2" necessarily, but the fact that those are tracks 6, 7, and 9, with the silly "bad man" being 8. I feel like Alex G has a spiky, funny personality and wants to toy with structure in a potentially alienating way (the middle of Rocket is pretty wonky too, albeit not as blatantly as here). idk tho

ya like all of his albums there’s definitely lots of personality. this album doesn’t have a Brick, the only song that feels like it breaks that much character is bad man

i've said this before but this reminds me of the the stuff i used to listen to when i first came to sputnik, all the 90s/early 2000s indie "classics" - i rarely listen to those albums nowadays but this is a like a direct line to my memories and emotions of those days and it's dope

Yeah robertsona those tracks really mess with the flow of the album. Probably would 5 if not for those.



I don't think any of his other stuff touches this tbh

Hope was my #1 but I played it like a thousand times which is why I'm defaulting to Sarah now. I just heard thay album for the first time ever a few days ago. Nowhere near as solid as this but some tracks are stellar
