Interesting to hear how dry this is produced. It's a pretty raw sound, given the genre.

First couple of spins, i really dig it.

Crystalised is such a great song.

Memories of struggling to get the xx into your playlist?

There was one dude in high school who used to bug me incessantly to listen to this and just to spite him I never did.



Anyway after enjoying Romy’s solo record and historically liking Jamie’s solo stuff I gave this a whirl and wow it’s underwhelming

Album Rating: 2.5

Final thoughts: there is a line between underwritten and minimalist and I don’t think they’re on the side they think they are

Oooops I forgot this even existed. Loved it back in the day, never come back to it any more.

Album Rating: 3.0

wow this aged HORRIFICALLY. these guys and passion pit ended up being a massive precursor to the vile indie pop scene of the 10’s, much to both of their detriment. shame

Okay but Intro is still perfect...

I still like Passion Pit though, Moth’s Wings is a great song

Album Rating: 3.0

yeah intro rules and islands is still a tune, but the rest is like one notch above the aural equivalent of watching paint dry



passion pit is cool. gossamer, in particular, is an exceptionally nostalgic album for me and i could never hate on it, even if it is cheesy as fuck.

Yeah Moth’s Wings, My Girls and Snow Days by Real Estate were what 09 sounded like for me
