The breakdown in Magnolia gets me fired up every single time man. Selfishly need more of that from them lol
The opening 2+ minutes of Winona give me the same vibes like I'm watching Midsommer, and that's awesome. This weird, warm, arthouse vibe, but there's also something sinister under the surface.
Going to take something extraordinary to top this as my AOTY. It’s the only album I want to listen to.
Revisited it this morning and I just find more and more to latch onto. The way the last three songs flow together is simply unreal
2 thoughts: Incidental (II) has vibes like later Daughters as well as King Woman especially with the female singer. How did they even create Amethyst? Unreal. Only song in my limited amount of musical experience that comes close to that kind of build and swell is Caspian’s Arcs of Command(ok that song is goated).
Doberman finally clicked for me the other day - it was the last song I needed. Really loving the end of The Garden Route. George’s screams are top-tier there.
No one even argues whether Deafheaven is black metal anymore, Infinite Granite made everything else seem like "trve" black metal.
Have a playlist made of just this album, Dissection, & Immortal it’s a cloudless sunny day. probably not the best soundtrack but it’ll do
Setlist is out. They play everything from Lonely People With Power with the exceptions of Body Behavior and The Marvelous Pecan Tree, as well as Worthless Animal, Brought to the Water, and Dream House.
Wish I could go in sac tonight. Been a tough week with the baby and can’t justify it. Hope anyone that goes has the best time. There’s a lot more music to come in 2025 but this has a real strong shot to be my AOTY
Seeing them in Omaha on May 2nd. Never seen them before and this felt like the right time to see them.
