It really does still have that Deafheaven flare but the vocals are so different that it sounds... incredibly different.

Shit, didn’t know this came out! Verdict? At work and can’t read all the comments right now

Motherfuckers on this page seem to love it lol.

Say no more, say no more.

Bookends of Sunbather are in fact their peaks, but mostly everything else rules to a slightly lesser extent.


Yeah, pretty difficult argument to say Dream House and Pecan Tree aren’t their best songs.

Sunbather is still their best song, no one has gave an opposing argument otherwise.

Mombasa is my favorite Deafheaven song. The Pecan Tree was my previous favorite til this came out though. But sunbather is still their best album as a whole imo

Album Rating: 2.8

Mombasa is one of the best here until they dial up the boring fanservice blasts. Zzzzzz

Mombasa's situation on the Indian Ocean made it a historical trading centre,[4] and it has been controlled by many countries because of its strategic location. Kenyan school history books place the founding of Mombasa as 900 A.D.[5] It must have been already a prosperous trading town in the 12th century, as the Arab geographer al-Idrisi mentions it in 1151. The oldest stone mosque in Mombasa, Mnara, was built c. 1300. The Mandhry Mosque, built in 1570, has a minaret that contains a regionally specific ogee arch.



In the late pre-colonial period, it was the metropolis of a plantation society, which became dependent on slave labour based around the ivory trade. Throughout the early modern period, Mombasa was a key node in the complex and far reaching Indian Ocean trading networks, its key exports then were ivory, millet, sesamum and coconuts.

Heeeeeeeeee’s myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy owwwwwwwwwwwn [eclipsing my love]

That part is just auditory ecstasy to me. Really might be my favorite snippet from this album

Album Rating: 4.5

I feel like Chris Johnson's bass playing is suuuuuuper overlooked. I love his tasteful playing in the middle of Lament for Wasps especially.

I left work at lunch today to “take my cat to the vet” but in reality I just put this album on and laid on my bed and let it engulf me all day lol

Album Rating: 3.5

am I crazy or is this album really over-produced?

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

I’m not calling you crazy but it’s not overly produced. The production here is fantastic. I think the harmonies in the vocals are quite heavenly

Album Rating: 3.5

seems like when they build into their crescendos the instruments all explode loudly to the point it becomes overbearing imo, almost like they're battling too much for the spotlight is how I'd word it. The only instrument here throughout that is majorly consistent is the drumming which isn't exactly surprising.

To each his or her own I suppose. I’m not a religious person, but if I ever find myself in some afterlife, I’d hope to be welcomed in with the “sleeping in nectar; teething on freedom” bit. That could be played for the rest of eternity and I’d be happy.
