You should definitely give it another chance, it’s not an obvious classic I guess but it just has such a wonderful warmth and tunefulness to it. For me, the ultimate feel-good album.

“June Hymn” is such an utterly perfect song.



And years from now when this old light

Isn't ambling anymore

Will I bring myself to write:

"I give my best to Springville Hill"

Virtually every song here really hits me now, I used to find it uneven but over the years that's no longer true

This is an album that has stayed with me for years. It's warm, beautiful, and has a sort of summer nostalgia vibe which gets me everytime. I just don't understand this 3.4 lol



Dear Avery is a perfect closer

Agree, this is criminally underrated, both in general and by the band’s fanbase.

This is their best album and one of the reasons I got into Americana

Calamity Song, January Hymn, This Is Why We Fight, and Avery are all perfect songs

“June Hymn” is the best, conjures such a wonderful fuzzy feeling.

Gearing up for my yearly daily listen to “June Hymn” aka the coziest, most nostalgic song ever written.

Going hard on “June Hymn” this month.



Pegging clothing on the line

Training jasmine how to vine

Up the arbor to your door

And more…
