I know Mombasa is getting the hype but Villain is the stand out for me so far. Somehow this band always takes fairly simple melodies and turns them into something special. Straight HEAT.
You all weren’t kidding about Mombasa, what a rewarding way to end the album. I can’t wait to listen to this a bunch more tomorrow to really dig into all the layers of guitar.
Never expected to say this but I think this is their best work to date. Goosebumps at the end of Mombasa. This is going to get some repeat plays. What an album!
Had a rough night of sleep and was going to skip my routine morning walk but was like "no I gotta go so I can listen to Deafheaven" and yeah this is fantastic, re-energized me for the day
