the mood is quite different though. this is comforting/soothing while RHP is depressing

I get the RHP mood comparison
it's a shallow aesthetic and has much less content-wise than RHP's stuff but that's an advantage if you're going for a passive vs active listening experience

I love the mood and atmosphere, it's a bit naive but I love the carefree head over heels in love vibes I'm getting from this, it's really charming and comforting.

I get a 'if Brian Molko wrote dream pop' vibe to this - a little cheeky, a lot sexual...I almost imagine the phrase Burger Queen will turn up at some point on the dirty closer 'Young & Dumb'. Melodically there's something similar there too (am I saying that I think Molko could write something as subtly effective and pretty as this? No).
I love the fact the album doesn't need to yell from the rooftops to get its personality across, it just has this natural charisma that despite all the hours of lisping never materialised on any XX song.
Album is irresistible to my ears

This and early RHP are very different in terms of mood - always felt that despite his youth Kozelek wasn't writing music about getting laid too much, and if he was, then getting laid was just another source of discomfort :D
So kinda the polar opposite of this music.

"am I saying that I think Molko could write something as subtly effective and pretty as this" you ask after referencing a Placebo song that's as subtly effective and pretty as that
that comparison sold me on this though, gonna check

Hellscythe - listen to the last song first as it is the one that has that feel to it the most

Glad I'm not the only one who hears the similarity, has a lot of similar tones and chord progressions to Placebo...plus obviously the vox are similarly androgynous

some of the lyrics are a little cringe but the music more than makes up for it

the lyrics are dumb as shit, but
"it's a bit naive but I love the carefree head over heels in love vibes I'm getting from this, it's really charming and comforting."
this sums up why it works.

K gives me too much of that beach house vibe and beach house is painfully mediocre

There's definitely a lot of Teen Dream era Beach House in this but with the male vocals and the slowcore aspects I think it's different enough to distinguish itself.

tbh i don't really hear how this is "slowcore" at all but maybe i have the wrong perception of what it is
