Until doesn't even hit my top 5, but this album doesn't have bad tracks - everything brings its own qualities.



Since you asked - Reveal, Behind My Eyes, The Spaces In Between, Raise Me Up & Closure are the top 5 (not necessarily in order).

Man I just CANT get into it. I mean its obviously great but theres so many flat moments I just dont get with ANY other Patrick walker. Its great to hear 'A thousand miles' though he played that like 3 years (maybe even 4) when I saw him in London on a solo set with now who I imagnie was the lady on that track.

This isn't my realm of music at all (in fact, any recs for something else in this ballpark would be amazing), but there's something about this album I can just get completely lost in for the entire duration. It can play beautifully in the background to whatever I'm doing, but it can also totally consume me.



Cannot wait to see them live next Thursday.

Maybe check Songs: Ohia ? Especially 'Lioness' and 'ghost Tropic'

Also Warning if you havent, Same singer but not musically like this. Classic Doom but still influences are there just 'Heavier'

Theres a few acoustic versions of tracks of the first 40 Watt sun records toohttps://youtu.be/ykLJoi-hcFo

and carry me home also.



On previous pages I think Doof said he though this sounded like someone too.



Take your tissues man!!

'I think it's generally in my bottom half of the song rankings on this album, but it adds a different flavor and is a very great track in its own right' (2)

I powered through ;)

I like this, it's very chill, can't say it would make it to the top of my list of the year but I can see the appeal for people who dig the genre. The production is fantastic, and the melodies are rich and somewhat... hypnotic.

I haven't paid much attention to the lyrics but I am sure they are also a strong point.

Reveal > tho :-(

You gave it a good go Dew (and the results weren't entirely disappointing), that's all we can ask

The thing is, I didn't even know this genre was my thing until I heard this beauty. It still might not be and this is just a one off, but I'm definitely off to explore.



Hypnotic is very much the right word here.

Are we still using that as a dig? I’m conflicted, because it is indeed a good dig and often truthful re the quality of prog as a whole, but at the same time not entirely accurate / fair



Also Sput gives out prog tags like there’s no tomorrow

I saw your reply my king, I'm prepped to check it all out.



Patrick's voice is utterly perfect live by the way.

That alone would make me smile.



Fuck. Why have I taken so long to hear this? I'm buying everything this does, especially its patient pace. It heightens the impact of every emotional beat.
