Hopelessness is excellent agreed, but I do prefer this overall

I’ll return to ‘Hopelessness’ sometime, right now I’ve been going back to the previous ‘and the Johnsons’ ones



I bumped ‘I Am a Bird Now’ from a 4 to a 4.5 and I might bump ‘Crying Light’ up to a 4 from a 3.5.



Don’t know the debut too well outside of a couple of great songs so need to give that one a fair shot.

bumped to 4.5, definitely AOTY material

had a feeling you might ;)



yeah, has that AOTY potential...I'd still rate 'I Am a Bird Now' slightly ahead of it though which maybe complicates things I don't know

'Bird' is better but this is really good and that record is a hard bar to clear

A lot of this reminds me of Is a Woman/Nixon-era Lambchop. This is a very good thing.

It has that chamber pop feel at times

Also the soulful feel.

This is still settling in but very likely top 5 of the year so far.

I'm also anticipating this being top 5 of the year when the dust settles

“Scapegoat” one of the easiest 5/5 tracks I’ve heard in a minute

Debut is hard to go back to, backing is so ‘vocalist showcase’ basic



Also the vocal approach is conventional - sound big, hit the notes



A few songs with great melodies but overall lacks nuance and personality which is strange with a voice this unique





Always thought my 3 rating was harsh but right now struggling to make a case for it to go up :/
