Genuinely beautiful, heartfelt and Sentimental. I did not expect this. My stoner mate who has probably abused every girlfriend he ever had and had to move back home after fucking up his life for the 3rd time recommended this album to me once. I didn't take it seriously, I thought he had moved onto crack instead of bongs. To be fair he has pretty good music taste. I hope he's doing alright, in the caravan in his parents backyard, smoking cones. He's a piece of shit but was a good mate in high school. That's kinda the feeling this album evokes. Its emotional and has similar vocals to Sun Kil Moon, a certain Southern melancholy. Sun Kil Moon is way sadder tho. This album has bargaining and feels like an early Modest mouse in that sense. But the south instead of the mid west. Throw about a dozen other influences into this thing and you might get close to this Epic. Especially Lyrnard Skyrnard who hangs over this album like a dark nostalgic cloud. Kinda like booting up the PS2 as an adult and remembering how you used to play it with your older brother who took his own life. Sweet, nostalgic and deeply Melancholic. Im not being melodramatic, that is actually what happened to my stoner mate who recommended me this album. I understand why he loved it. I think I love it too. Just not yet. I'll be back, just like Benji by Sun Kil Moon keeps pulling me back. I've listened to this album countless times since we got it. And im only scratching the surface of enjoyment for a great many of the tracks on this thing. 9/10
