Nice review, descriptive enough that I'm now worried about being a wet blanket itt cuz this kinda does not sound like something I'll like! Will check anyway though!

Goddamn it's SO long too 96 minutes

Album Rating: 3.5

This sounds like The Chariot, Swans and Slint bastard child

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah they still have that touch of Slint worship, mainly on Reiterations

Album Rating: 3.5

okay, I'm interested...



'Mamaleek Diner Coffee

Oxbow An Evil Heat

Daughters You Won't Get What You Want'



that's a mighty big win, a minor win and a dud, but I should check

Album Rating: 4.5

YWGYWYWY is a dud of an album but for those who like it this might appeal as well so on it goes!

Album Rating: 4.0

This is certainly an experience with many cool moments for sure, but I can't help but feel its' just a bit much. Definitely a wild trajectory from that first EP to this though.

Album Rating: 3.5

I appreciate that it may have been a tactical decision, sometimes these things are



not many peeps care about Oxbow here (comparatively speaking), likely even less care about Mamaleek

Album Rating: 4.0

it would usually annoy me but i actually really love how vain this feels. in context w the rest of their discog it certainly feels like a statement. lots 2 unpack

Album Rating: 4.0

Stop shitting on YWGWYW y'all, I lack the necessary self-esteem to withstand your attacks.

Although I must admit I haven't been able to enjoy that record since the allegations

cute opener

Album Rating: 3.5

second song slaps. this is a league above most similar stuff coming out recently (knee jerk reaction based on the first two songs)

Album Rating: 3.5

vocalist gets a little jamie stewart at times. i like it

Album Rating: 4.5

The string quartet/feedback solo on Privilege of Being might be my favorite single moment on the whole thing and yeah Sprain can have a lil Jamie Stewart once in a while, as a treat

Album Rating: 3.5

I'm getting some Kayo Dot vibes in here too. What a weird album. It's been a while since I heard an album this eclectic and with so much... personality(?). It still feels too long for its own sake but maybe after some spins it will justify its length.

Album Rating: 4.0

Yahhp the string arrangements occasionally remind me of some of the whackiest minimalist composers of the XX century like Julius Eastman.

I also get some Vampillia here and there, especially the album Alchemic Heart (which I used to love as a teen).

Album Rating: 4.0

reiterations is soooo good and transitions so well into privilege of being. one of the hardest songs i’ve ever heard in that genre just kind of evaporates into this beautiful noise

Album Rating: 4.0

also the random snare hits in the middle of reclining nude sound like gunshots or something and to me sounds very successfully anxious

Album Rating: 4.5

"also the random snare hits in the middle of reclining nude sound like gunshots or something and to me sounds very successfully anxious"



one of my favorite moments on the album
