checked this out after seeing it on some year-end lists that had a lot of other stuff I enjoy and hot damn it's great. didn't like any song after "mustang" as much as I liked that one but still great for a debut (I think this is their debut? correct me if wrong)
huh maybe the NMG thread is where I'd seen this artist's name before then, because it was vaguely familiar to me before seeing it on lists
Finally got around to this and it sounds like two bands I haven’t heard from in a long time: As Tall As Lions and Open Hand
The Samia album REALLY clicked with me a couple weeks ago and I really love what Bartees did with that song. Definitely one of my favorites on the album.
He opened for Thursday on their live stream and was so good. I wonder what yours he would have done in 2020, if you know. Feel like his music covers so much ground. He could tour with so many different bands/artists.
The buzz around Live Forever means he could probably tour with a bunch of bands when that's safe to do again and be higher up on bills. Love to see it.
I’m honestly not a huge fan of the production on this record but will 100% be at the shows. And the festival circuit would do really well for him this year if we have them
