I mean, it never showed up and I didn't move until 2014. Obviously, my mind was elsewhere in 2011. I didn't follow the tracking, at all, so I can't complain too much. Just glad to finally have it. I'll definitely keep up on the tracking this time! haha.
Relistening to On Circles this morning to make sure I slot it correctly on my AOTY list. I think it's top 10. This was a little bit of a surprise for me. I've never been a huge fan in the past (or listened to much "post-rock" in general), but something about this one really clicked with me.
The sort of thing you love to see on a Monday afternoon! Do find it a bit strange that they didn't reissue Tertia in a gatefold sleeve too but that's just something I noticed.
That’s the album that got me into them and is definitely my favorite from them. It simply does not miss (nor do they) and Gone in Bloom and Bough is perhaps their best song
waking season is my favorite pretty handily. its probably their least interesting, structurally and sonically, but its so captivating all the way through that i just do not care
Hickory '54 has that "nostalgia without being nostalgic" vibe that TWOD also gives me. Love it so much, what an album.
