Yeah after giving Good House another closer listen or two, it's really grown on me. A real beauty.

Let's be real here Sleep Cycle isn't THAT impressive and it's being way overhyped. It's really great, but I don't even think I'd say it's stronger than Painting With at this point.

Better than this, but wouldn't really put it up there with my absolute favorite AnCo projects. One of the best EPs of the year so far though.

I think what Sleep Cycle has over this is emotional power. There are some definite tunes here, but nothing here that really conveys any heavy sentiments. Feels like there's a lot more heart and soul put into Sleep Cycle.



@Frip I've heard people say Deakin himself refers to it as an EP, but idk.

I think people are just really desperate for that classic Anco vibe so they're foaming over this. More emotive, yeh, but it clearly sounds like just one portion of the Anco palette.

Even if it is just one portion, at least it's a pretty good portion. All that aside, at least we can agree Dekin put out a good record, amirite?

Golden Chords is my personal favorite off it. If I had to rank them, It'd probably be

Golden Chords>>Just Am=Footy>Good House>>>>>Shadow Mine>>Seed Song

sleep cycle is definitively better than this, i wasn't even that entirely excited for his solo project beforehand it's just genuinely some of the best material they've ever put out

the new stuff sounds a lot better live, plus they do Alvin Row which should make it worth it for just that alone
