About halfway through and damn this is great. Dark Weather and String of Light are the standouts so far.
Interesting that this is under the “Ace Enders” moniker, as it really gives off ICMAM vibes. So many of these songs could’ve fit perfectly on The World We Know or Enola. (I also think Growing In should’ve been under the Ace name) Regardless, I’m in love with this album.
Yeah I do agree that what Mess is and solo is really just melded together, but lucky for him it's always good so it doesn't really matter in the end. But yes, mentally I agree with the projects you mentioned
Finally got around to this album and yeah, it's really really cool. Gonna start spinning this a lot this winter
for what it's worth is the only song with real staying power for me. kinda disappointed with Ace's output since Imbue
finally listening to the new album and I'm getting heavy Gold Rush vibes from the first couple songs (complimentary)
Strings of Light to FWIW run is incredible, will have to let the rest sit a bit longer and see how it settles. it does feel very Mess but those first two Mess albums just cast such a long shadow for me, those things are special
