thanks for reminding me of that list lol great stuff for sure.

Yes you should although I remember it being very difficult to tell songs apart so just sit with it for a while but it does sound very similar to parts of the new Ben Howard which I know you liked

After revisiting this I’m bumping down. This just isn’t clicking with me although the cello sounds are cool in general

Not quite as realised as Another Thought, but greater stylistic consistency on this one. So ahead of its time!

Further: the Indian classical music influence and almost outsider approach to the artform here kind of suggests to me an unlikely comparison to Robbie Basho, but tracing the influence Russell has had on 21st century musicians (Frank ocean and Ben Howard in particular) really blows me away.
