^amazing

This is not the sound I was expecting whatsoever. It's actually somewhat pleasant.

Album Rating: 3.0

…and that’s why it’s bad, in a nutshell.

Well sometimes bad, sometimes actually quite good. Less good than Angel Guts, Knife Play or The Air Force. Too many pleasantries permeating their way into this.

I mean it's a solid chamber pop / darkwave album tbh, no contrarian acts necessary

Album Rating: 5.0

The noisy impulses are wrapped into the fold more smoothly. There’s still quite a bit of it bubbling under the surface at point in Goodbye for Good or It Bothers Me All the Time, etc

AN INACCURATE DRAWING
OF YOUR FEET
AND ANKLE
AND ANKLE BRACE

Lol sounds about right, last time I saw them he ran off stage on all fours doing dog barks into a kazoo

hey it's that album !

I haven’t heard this yet

The show the other night was wild as hell

Album Rating: 4.0

porcupine this is indeed fantastic! Need to give another spin but I was mindblown during the first session. It's got Steven Wilson's delicacy and The Cure vibes. Awesome stuff.

Wanna hear all of this again soon
For some reason, Knock Out has become my go-to here; that coda monologue is kinda silly, but it gets me every time

Album Rating: 5.0

Hell yeah Frosti, glad your diggin’, this thing got me through Spring



And being silly is def part of the Xiu Xiu bushel of trix, Johnny, hope yr teeth are getting back to being teeth again
