Man this album is really good.

 

it's so good. If not for the timing I feel like this would be getting some serious hype

between this and the 3d country thread being one page even here is sleeping tho

 

Gonna bump this thread once a week til people here realize and acknowledge one of the 10 best albums of the year dropped on December 6

 

Agree, it’s great. I’ve got it in my top 20 I think. I saw where somebody said it kinda reminded them of D’Angelo’s Voodoo, the more I listen to it the more I kinda hear it.

 

this is insane, dude is so talented

 

This album and 3D Country have taken over my life the past few weeks lol. This kid’s 22 and he might be my favorite songwriter going right now. His lyrics alone are funny, sad, profound, weird, scary, everything — and his vocal delivery is just consistently captivating. Have a feeling he might be making my favorite music for a long time.

 

between him, friko, merce lemon and mj lenderman the kids are doing ok right now

 

Drinking Age into Cancer of the Skull floors me every time an incredible debut record

 

I can't get Love Takes Miles out of my head. I think he does a great job keeping things interesting and just a little weird while still being meaningful

who is Nina? is she a real person or is it an Arienette situation?

 

not that the first two songs aren’t two of the best on the album (they are) but I dare anyone to not be sold on this guy by the time those two piano notes hit at 0:45 of love takes miles

Not a bad song on this thing, absolutely owned my december

 

try as i may maybe song of the year that's insane

 

This album really has its hooks of me and I'm thinking of sending it and going to see him in Chicago on 1/18.

 

fuck yeah

 

nice. took them long enough to review it

 

I remember seeing this in the 3D Country thread but forgot about it until the Pitchfork review. It’s veryyyyyy good.

 

Love that pitchfork mentioned Astral Weeks. First thing I thought of when the record started.

 

So glad to see it. Special record

 

Hey this rules

 

Get whiffs of Spencer Krug, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Young Jesus, especially the new Young Jesus if people are looking for more contemporary comps.

 

This is pretty good. Cancer of the Skull is the standout so far. Reminds me of BCNR

He was really great tonight in Chicago. Played a stripped back set with just him and a piano and he faced away from the crowd but remarked how strange that was lol. Did most of the album but did not play Nausicaä which I was a bit bummed about. Love Takes Miles and $0 were the highlights for me.

Also, I’m pretty sure Jeff Tweedy was watching from the sound booth which I was standing next to.

 

This record is so phenomenal. He also has a coolness about him, different but not totally unlike, Julian Casablancas. A nonchalance that is really endearing.
