Going from these songs to "Halfsleeper," "They'll Clap When You're Gone," "Fight Like Gods," etc. is such a huge quality jump.

I want to agree, but I hope we have just not heard this enough.

yea Angel these are way less drenched in reverb and are shorter, almost as dramatic while less stark sounding.



I can see how it can be a drag in terms of the tempos she used, but most of her material that worked as acoustic 'ballads' played on similar speeds. UR was more straightforward cuz her S-S skills weren't as sharpened as they are now, where she wants to flex with more instrumental layers and effects to create stronger moods, yknow to avoid what she already treaded on 6 years ago. It could be dreary but she definitely isn't one-note here.

A couple of these songs grow on me a little each time, but then there's songs like "Erde" and "When Anger Turns to Honey" that do absolutely nothing over three minutes and then fizzle out.

So this was pretty ok but can we please talk about how stunning Little Grave is (or has that conversation already happened?)

No we haven't had that discussion yet.

If that guitar was a piano it could totally be an Agnes Obel song.

I like it, thought it would grow more though. A handful of beautiful songs, but some stuff that threatens to put me to sleep.

You're absolutely right Egarran. Although I greatly prefer Agnes' voice over Chelsea's.
