Yeah I'm digging this as well. It feels both pleasant and somber at the same time. I love it.

"The part of you that I love is still there even if it doesn't know my name."

Easily the most beautiful and heartbreaking song of the year.

"the only question now is, how long till it breaks?"



For whatever reason that crushes me every time.

any similar indie/alt albums in terms of the dark feel or the aspirational character of the lyrics?

The collection is really similar in sound. I haven't listened to their lyrics as closely to answer your question though

Album Rating: 4.5

just got to this and I'm kinda not in the mood to discuss the album after only one listen, so lemme just say, jack, this might be the best review I've read here in years

ashdude thank you!! from the bottom of my cold dead heart!

the review is hella good. Love this album.

"any similar indie/alt albums in terms of the dark feel or the aspirational character of the lyrics?"

I would say last year's Manchester Orchestra and this year's The Flying Horseman.

That "Beachtowel" and "Remember" combo is amazing, and just started to dig "Coverings" too, Shannon's vocals are magical.

But overall, the production is what I like the most out of this. It's so, so well done to reflect the concept of the album. Really outstanding job there.
