On one listen it doesn’t transcend high quality late night TV talk show jazz. Frenzy was a highlight.

Not much here for me beyond the guitars, which made me think about Big Red Machine. Excited for the more ambient stuff though.

Listened through even though it was double album length, which is a miracle for this. Nothing jumped out too hard, but I enjoy Jeff Tweedy a lot.

Thinking of Jacques Brel. Might not have felt so tacky and overdone if it had been in a language I can’t understand. Not awful, just a very specific type of music.
