I VERY MUCH miss those vocals Colton, definitely, Parade is my other fave song from them

Yeah this is very restrained by comparison but I'm okay with that. It's just a very wholesome life-affirming package. Stuff like the end of I don't want love is god-tier tho

I actually think Volunteer and Porchlight are kinda boring lol, otherwise I'd bump this to a 4.5

Yeah those are prob my least favourites as well as equinox which is a very uneventful closer to say the least

The T/T here is an easy 5/5

Yeah but he didn't lose his hearing, he adapted to the new normal. Sounds like it was a learning experience and there's something powerful about overcoming such adversity and continuing to pursue your passion. And I mean, that aside this album strikes me as decidedly less depressive than their other stuff lol

Album Rating: 1.0

Agreed on Familiars being their best album. It has "Parade."

Album Rating: 1.0

opinions are like feet

Album Rating: 4.0

After listen 4 I'm thinking there's not quite enough going on to raise my rating above a 3.5 - it's very pleasant but some of it just becomes sonic wallpaper

Album Rating: 4.0

Stubborn Man and Volunteer deserve more love. The latter of those is mesmerizing.

Album Rating: 3.8

Volunteer is absolutely incredible. it'll grow on people a few listens deep I'm sure

Album Rating: 4.0

have to admit this is consummate 'bottle feedin your baby daughter' indie

Album Rating: 4.0

I think the big problem with this album for me is I only really need Solstice/Stubborn Man/It is What it Is/Volunteer/Green to Gold



Everything else it the same great style but nothing adds to what those tracks have perfected

Album Rating: 3.5

i like the idea of this being a new beginning for them - a stepping stone into a different, less bleak sound



good stuff

Album Rating: 4.0

It's like half 'Familiars', half something like Rhye



'Stubborn Man' is one of the best, 3rd or 4th at least - when people are saying this is missing perfect vocal moments I feel this is the one that bucks that, in a slightly more understated fashion



'Just One Sec' I find really generic and plinky plonk, one of their least exciting songs ever

Album Rating: 4.0

Some gorgeous stuff on this. Will be returning.
