this new album is so great, somewhere between dijon, vampire weekend, wallows and probably some more accurate comparisons from people more in the know. production is immaculate but not annoyingly clean, the mix sounds bright and lovely. no idea what he's on about sometimes but there's a lot of lyrics about the pressure of expectations.
if you were to give it a go i would say check out elevator hum which is the one i that got me to listen to the album in the first place.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU LISTEN and thank me later

"Why would you make out of words a cage for your own bird?
When it sings so sweet
The screaming, heaving fuckery of the world?"
the crooner's sophomore outing, finding beauty and hope amidst the end of the world
loved unreal unearth, loved the debut. but if you ask me, this is his strongest album. there's something about the imagery invoked in this album that is so specific, but feels so unique to him. that underwater cover art kinda encompasses that; normally when we think of wastelands, its just dry nothingness for miles. but this feels very "noah's ark flood" end of the world. the calm before the storm, the storm, and the aftermath
the VOCALS on this thing go apeshit btw
this also just has some of my favorite songs of his. MOVEMENT is criminally slept on. shrike is so bittersweet and beautiful. dinner & diatribes and almost (sweet music) are absolute jams. talk...? TALK?!! jesus christ. i can't listen to the title track without weeping. there's such a melancholy that almost makes me sick but it's like...the hug you'd want from a loved one as the world caves in
good time๐! emotional damage๐! have fun๐!

it is generally not the usual genre i listen to and im not been a fan of this kind of vocal style, however the more i listened to it the more it grew on me. it reminded me of Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles by Syd Matters. maybe mossyelfie will like it!
this album has really sad feel to it that is contrasted so well with simple and lovely guitar arps. and the production is so clean! I will definitely be using this album as reference when mixing some of my own songs haha
my fav tune is 'the sound of settling.' love how minimal the lyrics are and how fun it is to sing along to
death of an interior decorator is a close second. love the progression and the lyrics there. again so fun to sing along to!
we looked for giants is also an honourable mention. very crunchy
also transatlanticism would fit so well in the video game 'life is strange', i could just imagine it playing in the background it and would have def made me cry when paired up with that storyline.
did i mention how smooth the transitions are?? definitely the smoothest transitions between songs from any album ive listened to so far. so tastefully done!
it was very fun to try something new. like i said this is not a genre i usually listen to, but transatlanticism really caught me by surprise and i think if i listen to it a few more times it'll definitely grow on me much much more. also, what an outro! such nice vibes. thank you for the recommendation!

I got into this like a year ago after someone on instagram put me onto it but they played at The Broadway in Brooklyn last weekend and I am truly sad that I didn't make it out to this one.
This record is really good, worth listening to all the way through. Its intense at times but spacious at others and I really like how the production makes you feel like you are in the room they are playing it in. It sounds like a lot of stuff that you might like, like MJ Lenderman, Horse Jumper of Love, Greet Death or Knifeplay but it sounds like its own thing and its done well.

took a spontaneous trip to see the new alien movie today
ive never been to see a horror movie alone at the cinema before so it felt all the more immersive for me, would recommend going to get scared alone even if youโre a scaredy-cat like me :)
