Hopefully an outlier as far as the album as a whole in concerned, but this feels surprisingly weightless. Not even necessarily the lightening of sound, but iunno. Maybe it'll be a grower.

weightless is a perfect description

i think it's gorgeous. makes total sense considering his acoustic works and the last works.

i love how he's just stripped his sound down to all that's necessary.

That is precisely the reason(s) why I think it's not great

I said on the previous album thread it sounds like RHP ‘Drop’ and it still does

The Kozelek worship has got even more obvious but who cares - it’s Mark Kozelek worship so the best sort

Not better than Kozelek, I mean, c’mon - dude pretty much invented the sound and has released about twenty better songs that sound a lot like this tune.

But still, it good

It’s no Medicine Bottle, Katy Song, Mistress, Drop, Void…

i need more time with it

there is one nitpick - i don't like the mixing. there are times where his vocals are so high in the mix they become shrill and overbearing and i'd like to be able to focus more on what the instrumentation is doing. the instrumentation is so layered and beautiful so it could be more balanced. it isn't an issue when you listen to a single song but on a front to back listen i felt a bit fatigued.

compositions are beautiful. want to delve in more.

I really like the new one, he's obviously listened to a lot of Sun Kil Moon around 'April' sort of era - this is not a bad thing.

Overall it is a more consistent album than 'April' though. My early impressions are it is slightly weaker than the previous album, but it goes more for outright beauty with maybe a little less misery.
