thank you for clarifying boney's comment with a clear comment and your cards on the table i appreciate it



his statement is entirely true for So Tonight tbh (despite it packing a couple of GOATs) but Among My Swan and 50% of the debut are the bomb

Just bumped this to a 4, it's got great staying power as I've been listening to this a ton

Yeah this started around a 3.5 for me on first impression but something kept drawing me back (and continues to). The beautiful guitarwork and synths are probably the best thing about this.

This was ~nice~ on first spin. Very autumnal, they shoulda dropped this in September.

on my first listen it just felt like a pleasant 3-3.5 but it's insanely rewarding you when you spend more time with it

This really is quite nice, I’ve spun it daily since checking it out, but it also leaves no lasting impression on me. Pretty but ephemeral.

I ~sort of~ agree with the ephemeral critique, but this is also one of the most gorgeous and spellbinding things when I'm immersed, so even if I don't remember specific melodies or chords, I keep coming back to this to chase that feeling. So it's ephemeral but not at the same time to me, lol.

"3.7 best new sowingcore"

I would support a continuing list series of this. I mean who cares about BNM when you can have BNSC?
