Old Pine is a lovely tune to play on the day my life allegedly begins.

Only Love is such a timeless choon

This is still an amazing album, definitely my second favorite after "I Forget..."

Maybe yoouuu were the ocean
when I was just a stone

And I don’t wanna ask you why
But if I was to go my own way
Would I have to pass you by?

Album Rating: 3.0

this is so adorably normie I feel underqualified to jam it without the aid of a chequered shirt and beanie

Album Rating: 3.5

Most of this is starbuckscore but there's some absolute beauts like Promise propping it up



And the guitar work is so fucking good hnnng

Yeah but then you hear Black Flies on one of the Life is Strange games and it changes your life!

Everyone is making fun of this era of indie folk now on social media but revisiting this, Bon Iver and Chad VanGaalen always transports me to old road trips to West Virginia way back when :,) miss that sometimes

Nah. It was fucking awful times.
Trite shite.

Ben stands a mile above the rest though, this is decent.

Well I still enjoy it for what it was, give it another ten years and people will be leg humping this era into submission like they’re doing with the early 00’s right now. Pretty soon all the kids will be wearing cardigans and Toms with no socks on getting together to watch Community

Definitely mate.
The one irrefutable fact remains though that the early 2000s were the worst.
