This album is beautiful. Will probably be listening to this a lot
Another one I own. Cool
Love, Love, Love this album. It's all ambiance and atmosphere for me. Same reason I love Iron & Wine I suppose, delicate and complicated fingerpicking and whispery lyrics you can get lost in. If you like this, John Martyn's Solid Air is a good listen as well, the title track is dedicated to Nick Drake.
I love this album. I can definitely feel Nick Drake's influence on a lot of my favorite bands.
I remember listening to this album a few times about 20 years ago, but I haven't really returned to it since. It is a beautiful album, but I do agree that it kind of meanders along nicely and gets kind of samey over the course of its 28 minutes. I get why people love it and I get why some may find it boring. I'm kind of in between those two positions.
So, this is like José González, before José González was even born?! It's very good so far, nice guitar playing and singing. Everything so far just seems to meander along nicely and then come to an abrupt end. Seems a bit strange, or I'm not listening right, it's been a funny day. Free Ride has stood out for me, I like the droning strings and then the sliding guitar stabby bits along with the vocals. Nice melody. It's a nice album, but nothing really happens, so I can't give it any more than 2 stars to stay consistent.
favs: Things Behind the Sun, Parasite, Know least fav: Which Will (ig?) ...I honestly don't have anything else to say otherwise.
This is one of those highly revered cult albums that lives up to its hype. It's haunting, simple, and beautiful. An album I always feel like I don't spend enough time with from an artist I know I haven't spent enough time with.
