I'm also amazed but better late than never! Man her croons matched with the harp makes this so simplistic but super haunting.

The arrangements are far from simplistic. There’s a ton of depth and complexity to the instrumentation. She is unbelievably skilled at creating a ‘full’ sound that still sounds intimate and sparse enough at key moments, so her voice is never lost in the shuffle. I guess in that respect, yeah?

P.S. Have One On Me is ludicrously consistent for a triple album, most likely the greatest ever made. Divers is excellent too

HAVE ONE ON ME is good but doesn’t come close to this imo.

Maybe simplistic wasn't the right word. It just all sounds super minimalist to me but thats a good thing.

Sometimes I think I overrated this because I’ve only listened to this on CD and don’t have a CD player right now, then I read the lyrics like the ones mentioned last page, and it just soothes me all over again.

Minimalist lmao



Literally just the choice of instrumentation on sawdust and diamonds. Calling anything else about this minimalist is hilarious.

“HAVE ONE ON ME is good but doesn’t come close to this imo.”

The sheer amount of excellent(+) content is pretty astounding, even if this peaks higher (especially as One Skin exists). Different purposes. This is a dedicated front-to-back headphones and / or immersion listen whereas HOOM goes down very smoothly as an everyday soundtrack in numerous settings

I can see why YOU would prefer this tho. I probably do also (I just have them closer).

I just can't stop being absolutely awestruck by Ys. We truly do not deserve something so perfect.

I could never really get into her other albums, but still to this day, this is one of the greatest albums I’ve ever heard.

Indeed, this is almost peak music

To me all of her stuff is at the very least worthwhile / essential, but I can appreciate what puts this one over the top. She is an unbelievable (and sneakily versatile) song-writer

do we think she ever tours again? I guess she played some new songs a while ago in LA. 10 years since Divers. Crazy.
