"Fire Door, My Favourite Chords, title track are three of the best songs written by anybody







Everything Must Go and Aside as an opening duo are unfuckwithable"



Can vouch for this! Love that opening 1-2, and Left and Leaving is an all-time favourite.

Honestly Colton if this one isn't sticking maybe give Reconstruction Site a try, I started with that one and it's a more immediate/streamlined record. This one initially felt a little languid in comparison. But they might just not be your thing.

Reconstruction Site is a much easier intro to this band imo

I think this is more immediate lyrically for the most part, Recon is catchier for sure

Hell yes. That’s been on repeat for me lately. This whole album really

“How I don’t know what I should do, with my hands when I talk to you

How you don’t know where you should look, so you look at my hands”

I've heard Watermark a billion times and that last stanza always gets me:



Hold on to the corners of today

And we'll fold it up to save until it's needed

Stand still, let me scrub that brackish line

That you got when something rose and then receded

Hold on

My main issue with this is that the first half is so much better than the second half. Up until the Elegy this is one of the best album I've ever heard

Chords is amazing but Exiles is kind of just worse Fire Door
