It’s super beautiful and the lyrics are consistently insane. He has an alter ego “grandpa boy” which fits perfectly for him cause he feels like a wise man communicating like a young boy. And there’s just something crazy in his voice. I love him!!!

i think this guy is painfully underrated. been revisiting this album a lot recently. his lyricism is some of my favorite. his dual role as a comedian comes through quite a lot but it transcends that somehow, some of these songs are still so raw and vulnerable just with a lingering humor to soften it. incredible stuff. also the vinyl is pink

as the years go by i realized how much this dude has inspired me. somehow his songs captures the essence of night time, syrupy mysterious nocturnal grooves. it’s hard to recommend a proper entry point into his catalogue too, because there’s so much and to me it’s all good. though i always fall back on his solo records “bete noir” & “boys & girls.” it has the super hit “slave to love” obviously - but the other tracks are just as juicy - “windswept“ is a personal fav. each song features a different heavy hitter guitarist from the era too - which is why i’m so obsessed with it. he’s like a sweaty laid back lounge singer serenading you at 3AM, meanwhile these guitarists are just shredding behind him.
last saturday, i played a show and to get myself in the zone, i popped on “boys & girls” on the drive over. when i finished my set, a friend asked about the drum machine in one song and i said i took a cue from ferry and he recommended his 2010 record “olympia” which i somehow had never heard and now i’m currently obsessed with it. when i was packing up my gear the dj just put on another track of his. the next day at work, to sustain my post-show high i put on roxy music, and a customer i usually never talk to wound up sticking around telling me how much they love him. anyways i love that he‘s kind of my spirit guide following me around at the moment and highly recommend doing a deep dive into his world if you haven’t done so already…

oh boy is this a good one. been on repeat for the last little bit it makes me feel so warm and cozy inside 😊🌟🫎 idk what mic or what effect or whatever he’s using for his voice but golly gee… so crisp so nice. i can feel every instrument deep in my bonesssss and his melodies are probably my favourite ever. yeah. it’s awesome. i will admit that last track being 20 minutes long catches me off guard every time but i listened to it all the way through one time and it‘s magical 🦟 however i don’t think there’s enough adderall in the world that could get me to listen to it in its entirety again

I heard this song in a store once and it is so simple but gives me a very specific and vivid feeling, a feeling I quite like.
