I sort of get the comparisons to LDR but you listen to LDR and it’s hard to not picture LDR whereas…I don’t even know what this singer looks like and I always feel he’s writing ‘in general’ and well, about ‘young adults’ which he no longer is, so I don’t think it falls into that unrelatable superstar ego trap. You listen to LDR and you worship at the church of LDR - not for me. Love this stuff though.

‘We don’t need Brazzers….feeeel the world around you’

The first track (in particular) has really annoying vocal production. It sounds like listening to an old analog radio when a song is slightly out of tune and the dial needs to be adjusted to sharpen the vocals.

But apart from that, this is a slightly surprisingly good effort.

I had to look up blumpkin to see what it was. Wish I hadn't...

mj - the change in vocal production is possibly the most obvious alteration in sound this time, it hasn’t bothered me

I do think the whole ‘puppy love’ promiscuous romance that’s notionally directed at another(s) but is quite obviously a romance of the youth of the self is done so well in this dude’s lyrics.



A lot of people don't seem to get it or I guess like that but that’s a shame, underrated lyrics.

previously heard the debut, which is an unassumingly pleasant yet (absurdly) one-dimensional non-event that ended up kinda winning me over, but not the point I would want to revisit



this seems like a similar affair with the addition of more cringeworthy lyrics I (apparently?) "don't seem to get"

Have you been saying the lyrics are bad? Because obviously that’s the group I was referring to (a lot of people on RYM certainly)



If you want to feel personally affronted go for it though :D

"personally affronted"

i see precisely one person going out of their way to whinge about how much blowback these terrible lyrics are q rightly getting

not whingeing, explaining why I like something, quite eloquently I thought - certainly not just 'they good shut up'



the sum total of my terrible whinge, saying 'it's a shame' - I think they're fun lyrics and slyly clever - in context -, but you know I have 'cursory listen' bands I've somewhat dismissed already on past form but still do the grand honour of checking out new material for, and I get this is that band for a lot of people, they're an acquired taste through and through



Demon was clearly angling for a personal aggrievance on a blanket statement about an apparent consensus, not sure why really, but made me laugh anyway

The lyrics are fine; they suit the style of music and his voice and are quite evocative actually.

yeah, the androgyny hits just right and there is an evocative feel, there's a romance

what a bizarre response. Of course you weren't talking to me directly (I wasn't even present when you commented)
