Man

 

Single is wild as to be expected, very happy to hear from them again. Should be a beautiful send-off.

 

this song is, uhhhh, something

 

Out

 

Weird that this dropped on a Wednesday, I'll throw it on later today when I'm not working

 

Yeah, you need to be doing nothing else whilst listening to this. Give it your entire attention because it's dense

 

SS San Francisco is crazy

 

this album's one of a kind, goddamn

I've forgotten a lot of their discog, gonna have to revisit but I just want to listen to this over and over

 

"Footwork in a Forest Fire" is somethin else man

 

truly haven't been this enamoured with a rap album since Some Rap Songs, I'm amazed it isn't getting discussion here

 

I need way more time with it before I can parse my thoughts tbh

 

I made the comparison to someone earlier that it's like a mix of Some Rap Songs and Clipping., that's funny you say that

This is just a fucking insane album. I can't even begin to compare it to their other work, it's just so different and unlike anything I've ever heard in this genre. Parker is an INSANELY talented producer, as soon as that outro on Outside hit I knew I was in for a ride. I have no idea how, or even if, they will ever follow this up. Definitely want to see the tour now, I never got to see them with Groggs unfortunately

 

I can hear bits of both of those here along with so many other fragments of stuff but somehow the final work is just entirely unique and only sounds like itself

Music 2 right here
