Be careful. I listened to this at the gym and found myself zoning out to the music and stumbling on the treadmill time and time again since I was too focused on the music.
Man, I've never really got into this band, but I loved this. Strong Copeland and As Tall As Lions vibes.
Oh yeah, and his voice reminds me at times of the guy from Polyenso. Really can't argue with an album that reminds me of those three bands.
was weird when they went full jangly indie rock after being not quite that sound on the record beforehand
This is still getting better with each listen and it was darn good the first time around. I'm finding that some of my least favorites on my first listen are becoming my favorites now ("Happy Machines" and "Nome" specifically).
so bummed they dropped happy machines out of the setlist on my date, one of my favorites on the album
This thing is growing on me like fucking crazy. Super awesome that p4k gave this a 7 today. Didn't even think they'd review it.
I def don't know if I agree with how lovelorn he's making it out to be, but I'm super happy a publication of that caliber put out something about the record regardless of score/review.
Yeah, I'm all for p4k covering this! The two best albums Ian's reviewed over the past month or so got his two lowest scores though, so that's a bummer
