Sweet - added it to my list of albums to get. I hope he continues the dark trend set by Hollow Ponds but just fleshes things out a little more instrumentally.

New song. Sounds rather playful than dark, but still atmospheric. Excited to see where the whole album goes.

Yeah I've heard both already. Not quite as good as the best cuts off this record but enough to keep me intrigued.

Actually id rather he kept the sound more stripped down. There are multiple tracks on here i think would have been better if it was just an acoustic guitar and his voice.

I feel the opposite way. I love how stripped down this is don't get me wrong, but it suffers a little but from going-nowhere syndrome. There's a lot of coyness with very little moments that really deliver upon the level of intrigue built. With that said, it's still excellent. Just my two cents as to why it isn't closer to being a classic or anything.

Sowing check out the album Architect by C Duncan. I just uploaded a review for it. Reminds me of this record so you might like it (even though I didn't mention Astronauts in the review since comparisons to quite unknown artists don't help much in showing what I want to explain).

Another single, You can turn it off, was released. A new album better be coming soon. The sounds different, but I like it

pretty boring so far, everything sounds the same

still maintain that skydive is his best choon and it all goes downhill from there

Didn't bore me at all. It's admittedly a little samey, more so than this, but it's more consistent for it. The mixing/production is beautiful too.

I think this and End Codes are both a solid 4 for me for different reasons.
