I dunno how I completely spaced on the singles and EP last year. they're not as strong as this on the whole but Vivien might be their best hook since Prurient
as a whole album it's definitely more cohesive/flows better than their previous releases, although i think some of the highs on the other two releases are really damn high
At this point, this is my favourite album of the year. Every song has had its time circling around inside my head for hours. There's such a vibrant, cool blend of stuff but it sounds too lush, dynamic, and modern to be in any way a retro record.
my favorite track off the new album. Tour started last night and setlist is great. Certainly contemplating going to the NYC show in a couple weeks
