His vocals are literally unbearable at points also this is barely pop tom you're just really biased with Froosh no offence

Also the ones with names are only half the album and the rest is TMV-level wankery

obv pop bangers is an exaggeration i just mean it has tasty melodies and hooks you can hang yr hat on and you're sayin it's at a trout mask replica level of pointless directionless wanky shite

No idea who or what trout mask replica is but you're exaggerating what I said tom. The second is mostly wanky shite with some great stuff thrown in there, the first half definitely has some hooks but also some stuff which is nothing short of artsy to the point of being ridiculous eg My Smile is a Rifle

I don't hate it by any means

Its not bad but he's done so so much better when he just exercises some restraint eg Here, Air or Song to the Siren

Having said that it will probably come as no surprise that my favourite Froosh track is the one which is pretty much just Josh solo, eg Communique

that's not a froosh track it's a josh track with jf playing willy whoosh noises on a synth aka sticking a microphone out the window on a windy day

Phoenix family are some talented motherfuckers Joaquin is a hell of an actor

Does River have music of his own outside of his Froosh features?

Damn so no-one would've even have known he could sing if he hadn't just popped in to the studio to jam with Froosh one day? that shit's sad

Tom I thought he was on Well I've Been as well
