once again, not my usual genre, but i love how she stacks her vocals, so beautiful! i also love the basslines. i gotta be honest i was not expecting this at all, i was expecting more ambient music with soft billie eilish esque vocals and i was very pleasantly surprised. i was definitely not expecting jazzy instrumentals at allll.
her voice is sooooooo soothing oh my god this will definitely become an album i will put on when i want to peacefully fall asleep, absolutely majestic
i think my favourite tune from the album is wade. its just so so peaceful. the harmonies makes me close my eyes and bop my head from left to right in slow motion. its so well orchestrated, and ah the jazzy electric piano just hits the right notes. (side note: i have noticed that often the longest songs in albums tend to be my fav lolol)
the way that each strong is structured is so inspiring to me. it does not follow conventional patterns but flows wherever it wants to and i love that.
the album reminds me of imagiro's production, how it sounds so minimal but is so detailed with multiple instruments stacked on top of each other. i would really recommend his newest album unfold to everyone that likes sling!
i loved listening to this album, and once again it was a very welcome surprise. her lyrics feel very intimate, which i feel like requires a few more listens from me to fully grasp. but i can tell they're very personal and i can definitely see myself crying to this album once i am more familiar with it in the future lol. amazing experience
so far there hasnt been a single album that i havent loved! great recommendations by yall haha

I love dj baby benz with my everything. Sling is slowly becoming my favorite album of hers but immunity is so nostalgic so has taken me time to adjust. Sling is such a comforting sounding album even if super sad and introspective at times.
Harbor specifically is my favorite track because of how well it captures unrequited love. Blouse, Amoeba, Wade, and Bambi were immediate hits for me and the rest have taken me listening to them live to really connect. 10/10 cant recommend Sling enough!
She plays a lot of similar sounding stuff on her NTS radio show if you do end up liking Sling and want more!

The entire album is based around this exact concept. It’s so sincere, intimate, and maturely vulnerable. my gosh and the music itself…
Recommend “Reaper”

been a fan for a while but I think this most recent album of hers is my fave (last one is great too). was most impressed by how she reinvented her music, particular the "bedroom pop" songs from her early career. I honestly wondered beforehand if she'd even play them, she's matured so much from that part of her career, but she fully redid the composition for them. And there's a flute and saxophone solos allllll over this show. You can tell she loves music and wants to make it an experience for the crowd. Ya gotta see!

I listened to this yesterday, 16th September, and I recommended it to like 5 more people in my college today. It has grown on me so much. I had never heard of this duo, and i was just blown away. soooo cool! their instrumantation and vocals and ideas, all so fresh and lovely. for some reason i really connected to the song titles also lol. i dont have a proper analysis for this just yet, but i really really enjoyed listening to it and again thank you nick for the reccomendation!
more album reviews(?) coming soon
next one is Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie (listening to it as im writing this)
