"Her Hippo" is so funny - "The last thing I looked at in this hand-mirror was a human arsеhole," LMAO, and "More espresso, less depresso" is too relatable
I really dig this instrumentally, but the vocals are just not my thing (there's nothing bad or wrong about them, just generally not for me). Even with that, this was an enjoyable listen and something I can see myself throwing on pretty often during work.
Last two tracks will have to grow on me but overall it’s a fantastic record. Her Hippo and More Big Birds are early favorites.
