was only familiar with them vaguely but this was pretty - think it'd be a great summer sunny outdoor album. although it felt like a less-good lord huron to me.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

started out stronger for me but got a little bored towards the end. liked it more than I thought I would - had never heard him before.

2/5

i'm upset with myself for giving this two stars but there is something unique art to it that i'm not discrediting. the video clips on spotify may have been an influencing factor. never had heard of them before this and will never remember them after this.
