the stretched out single releases are killing me. i keep thinking this is coming out closer than it actually is bc i keep seeing promos for The Sofa. feels like this rollout has been going on forever

The S/T art is absolutely incredible. It might be one of my favorites of all time. It reminds me a lot of Jimmy Eat World’s Futures, rather than Invented, as both invoke this feeling of uncertain anticipation. Futures looks like the subject is working up the courage to make a life changing and/or difficult call, while Moving Mountains reminds me of a final night you would spend with a loved one (romantic or platonic) before you can’t see them for a while, and the crushing reality hits you that you’re in your last few moments as you’re walking out the porch to see them while they were already outside looking at the hazy view for quite a bit. Sort of like interpersonal Sunday scaries. At least, that’s the vibe I get from tracks like Hudson, which to me feel like navigating a long distance relationship due to traveling (touring?), and a lot of the gracious/sweet/admiring lines sprinkled throughout the entire record (Swing Set, Hands, and Eastern Leaves are big examples of this)

I was in a conversation about the best album covers of the past couple decades and I brought up the self titled. It’s something I’ve never really been able to explain but it’s just a perfect album cover and always resonates still. Then a week or so later I saw the news of the new release and it made it seem even more surreal.

revisiting the Prawn split and Abby Normal has to be one of the greatest songs of all time. every second of that track is completely transcendent. the way the song flows feels like an uninterrupted and comprehensive fluid thought that builds up to the monumental line [“Just let me forget what I said, what I got, and all the people that I met”], the lyrical centerpiece of the song imo, and releases shortly after. it’s so good. they really nailed the strings on that EP too. Phenomenal touch and I can’t imagine the songs without them.

Gates’ Parallel Lives is another good recommendation if you enjoy the S/T and this

i don’t listen to much outside the S/T onwards but i’ve always internalized Waves as Burn Pile + Seasonal with the vocals being closer to the style of Pneuma than S/T

Met up with someone tonight briefly and feel like it went very well. We already had a date planned Tuesday but she was at this bar close to me and asked me to come out and I feel like we really hit it off. Not getting my hopes up I know how this can go sometimes but I do have hope overall that I’m not gonna be alone forever lol. Anyway very excited for Tuesday now and to see where this ends up going

My partner made a Pruning of the Lower Limbs cake! She knew how much this meant to me and now we're treating it like a holiday lol. Happy MovMou day to all who observe!
