Full Audiotree has been released and it is great as expected. Just bought tickets to see Smidley again... they are opening for Home is Where!

Think this is becoming my favorite album of the decade thus far

Album Rating: 5.0

Farewell, Table Rock Antichrist, In Poor Taste, and Here Comes The Devil are all unexaggerated 5/5 songs.



Can't help but feel like this got slept on. Not on Sputnik per se, just generally speaking nobody seems to know about this.

Album Rating: 4.5

no it’s for sure slept on. Even in STL Foxing comes damn close to selling out whatever venue they play.



Smidley played the duck room and there was probably less than fifty people there after putting out an album that’s about as good as Nearer My God

Yeah, you'd think the Foxing crowd would latch onto Smidley. Maybe they just don't know about it.

Album Rating: 4.5

especially shocking considering Conor was literally at the merch table back in December selling the Smidley record. You’d think people would stop to say hi or something and wonder what that LP is.

i should def try this again, really liked the first album and love Conor/Foxing to death but I remember not liking this very much at all

Definitely very different from the first record. Idk I love it but I totally get why some people don’t

You're not alone. I find this incredibly bland-sounding on the whole. Totally lacks the oomph of NMG, the atmosphere and moodines of Dealer, or the playful poppiness of DDTM. There's just nothing for me to really latch onto outside of the opener and In Poor Taste. I love Foxing specifically because of how damn infectious their hooks are and how experimental song of their songwriting is, and I think here Conor is trying to commit more to a concept, it's just one I find unconvincing.

This album is something else. Probably my favorite release of the 2020s thus far, and while part of me wishes this got the acclaim it deserved, the fact that it didn't also makes it feel even more personal.

Album Rating: 4.5

It fell off a little for me but man the run from In Poor Taste thru the end is absolutely insane.

The second half is better than the first half for sure, but I still like the quiet, creepy feel of those slower songs in the beginning. Especially Farewell, that one's a masterpiece.
