It seems unlawful to even consider promoting Love's Easy Tears* when this is languishing down in not-quite-promotable territory... unless I'm mistaken?

I listen to this more than HOLV now. It's definitely the classic vibes / consistent immersion vs individual cuts argument (I circle back to often, here and elsewhere), but there are enough essentials for Treasure not to be overlooked in that department either and lately, vibes are winning

Classic band. On the list it goes.

(*currently in a standoff with "Slowdive" for perhaps the best EP ever, but EPs are weird beasts)

I haven’t checked Milk & Kisses or The Moon and the Melodies yet…which is more vital to check next?

They hated Jesus because he defied the order of the Roman Empire and claimed he was god

I really like Milk & Kisses, it's very nice! Also quite poppy, but it's an overlooked Twins record I'd say.

Victorialand has become my favorite these days, so my opinion on their discog is not reliable haha

Victorialand is blissed and viable and probably deserves a place on the podium

I like the peaks on Victorialand a lot, but the lows are pretty forgettable

"Is no one gonna answer my question"

Milk & Kisses didn't vibe for me. The aesthetic leant even more towards their streamlined poppy side and they appeared to lose a touch of magic. I remember the hooks not really landing. Then again, it could do with a revisit because it (and Café) are a bit of a blur.

I quite like The Moon & The Melodies, so I'd say that one providing you have already perused through some of their choice EPs like Love's Easy Tears, The Spangle Maker, Aikea-Guinea etc.

hmm yes that is the correct ranking of the next 3, providing you unwittingly buried Treasure due to it being the subject of this thread and the obvious 'doesn't-need-stating' aura it emanates

1. This

2. Head Over Heels

The rest depends on my mood, but Four-Calendar vibes with me the least.

Head at #2 is an awesome take
