It's pleasant enough musically, but like Johnny I'm really not too keen on his voice. I might give it another chance in a different setting.

@ butt - I found it super off-putting honestly. Lyrically and vocally. Both times I listened to the alb that song made me look up the title like "wtf is this even?"

This is alright, I find it pretty reminiscent of (Sandy) Alex G's last album but not as good

I've tried getting into this a few times, but it just isn't clicking for me much as for others it seems like. It's good overall though.

Got excited with the Perfume Genius/Sandy Alex G references in the first line of the review but this is limp as hell for me and I don't see the comparisons. Some Disney Movie Channel ass vocals and a throw shit at the wall approach to production. I don't like it :-(

That's so disappointing to hear - Alex G and PG immediately felt comparable to me, before I was even done my first listen. I agree that this isn't quite as good as either, but it's close. To hear that you flat out dislike it though...

I think more than just the vocals, the production gets my back up, some really confusing choices. Take that penultimate track for example, a nice enough snippet but completely disjointed and arrives too late in the tracklist. This dude doesn’t seem skilled or confident enough in his songwriting so compensates with the production.

The production is my favorite part :lol: I'm a sucker for twinkly, glitchy stuff though - and this has plenty of that. I heard it as lo-fi/endearingly meek rather than lacking confidence or skill (which the heights of Event Horizon and Another Animal display), but that's why we listen. We all perceive differently. As it stands this is not only right up my alley of personal preferences, but it's also tied with Mac Miller as my top album of the month. Can't decide between the two honestly, they're both so beautiful in their own ways.

Sowing, you ever jam much early '00s vintage glitch pop? Have been having a slight browse (need to get back to it!) and wondered if it'd be your vibe

Not sure what defines vintage glitch pop, but I'm guessing I've heard some but not close to all. I really started to get into the highly produced glitchy folk and R&B around 2016. It's why I was so blown away by 22, A Million and Dirty Projectors S/T. I'm aware that isn't where the sound originated, but IMO you do not have to have performed an exhaustive listen of a genre's roots to proclaim something as excellent in the present. Of course, it certainly impacts perspective and I get that. I think that's probably where the differing opinions are - those who got their fix at the sound's inception, and those who discovered it later on. :-)

I mean stuff like mùm, Max Tundra, Tujiko Noriko, Sweet Trip, Piana and I guess even Vespertine - feel that sound had a kind of heyday around 2002/2003 although glitch has obvs drifted in and out of other styles since (am hazy on the development!)
"IMO you do not have to have performed an exhaustive listen of a genre's roots to proclaim something as excellent in the present"
Oh yeah, for sure - and these artists have very little in common with this (except maybe Max Tundra a little)! I wouldn't call this glitch pop outright tbh, just brought it up bc 'twinkly, glitchy stuff' made me think you might dig that scene ;] One of my all-time favourite albums is from 2014 and has a heavy debt to that sound (much more than this!), which was what prompted me to check it further in the first place - so I'm very much on board with this take

Thanks for the recs. Perspective on music is such a strange thing lol. I'll check them but I won't expect it to enlighten me re: modern glitches and twinkles!

3.1 avg? what a joke
meanwhile the 4,809th black/folk/post-metal album with power chords and monotonous vocals is being hailed as a masterpiece somewhere right now
