Guitar really pushes melodies on this record. Lyrics are full of places and personal connections, giving a sense of environment. Production is super clean and clear. Not my cup of tea, but not a bad record by any definition.
Sinister, and yet fun. I’m convinced The Chauffer was the inspiration to a good amount of the White Lotus score.
Come for the high octane, stay for the weird stufff
There’s a tension and disconnection that seems to permeate the guitars. A lot of the songs are folksy, but then you hear the electric guitar come in almost impatiently and overly assert its presence. It works, oddly enough.
It’s an aging man’s dream fully realized, and you can dance to it…
As frigid as it is burning up, as subtle as it is quiet. Guitars in this are played by angry robots. I’m convinced they are not human, and yet more human than all of us.
Simple, direct, conveying hardship in the prettiest warbly voice imaginable.
Soft, bold, sometimes abruptly ending songs…fully realized character arc. Strong record overall.
