All I hear is talk talk - talk talk. Yo. Wait is that the song or the band. It's both and really 80s new wave catchy. It's also the only song I know. So continue type typing.

I must say… I don’t get it 🤔

Fortunately I do get this. It’s competing with Hollis’s solo album for no other reason than we must compare EVERYTHING, but both are essential serene yet evocative jams at this point

I love how delicate / fragile this sounds. The production is absolutely top notch. I knew this, yet it’s increasingly striking how impressively Hollis uses these dynamics

It gets this very perilous feeling across. Like the eerie calm you feel watching everything fall apart

Is it possible to commit to a fave track here? Instinctively I want to say Taphead (on an average day) but I’ve done enough back-and-forth that it’s far from a surefire winner

I do know Myrrhman has grown on me the most. Foolishly thought it was nothing more than a ‘pleasant’ intro at one point whereas now it’s emphatically essential

Lifted up

Reflective in returning love, you sing

Errant days filled me

Fed me illusion's gate in temperate stream

Welled up within me

A hunger uncurbed by nature's calling

Seven sacraments to song

Versеd in Christ, should strength desert me

They'll come, they come

Yea that drumming in New Grass is absolutely sublime as is the entire record, but GOD DAMN I'm blown away every single time I listen to that drum section
