Jay Som - Anak Ko (August 23,2019) Album • Page 5

Finally got around to this this morning, wow what a beautiful record. I would say a pretty noticeable step above her last one, which was already great

 

nvm jk i apparently like the even numbered tracks more, only by a little bit though

 

Crown fucking slams

 

whole record does

 

the guitar tone in the second half of Superbike makes me want to weep at work

 

I get heavy Pinback vibes in random places all over the record

 

loooove this

 

She just finished an AMA.

 

I've listened to this 3 times in a row, consider me a fan. This just feels good to listen to.

 

i legit did NOT know she was queer until like a week ago when i watched a video abt the making of the record and i heard her mention having a girlfriend, lol

 

I was up in the front. I spotted myself in an insta story she shared haha



So anyway, I did say I liked the even-numbered tracks on this album more, but holy hell, the odd-numbered ones are really good live, If You Want It, Peace Out, and Anak Ko especially.

 

if you want it and anak ko are the best songs on the thing

 

I think Devotion is my favorite but those two and the closer are close

 

late to this party - such a sweet album!

 

I don't dislike the odd-numbered tracks, I just feel like they're pulling one way and the even-numbered ones are pulling another way, and I like the direction the even-numbered ones are going in just a teeeensy bit more. I love the entire album, though.

 

I think you’re putting a lot of stock into this. The album is great.

 

I'm not saying it isn't. I'm saying I have favorites.

/late response lol

 

Was very disappointed to see her wearing a Tool shirt on her Twitter....

 

Song Exploder Episode 172: Jay Som

 

Great episode. Really like the ones that focus a lot more on the music and recording process than lyrics, so that was right up my alley. Favorite song on the record too. Cool to hear that Taylor from Boy Scouts did harmonies — everyone here should check out her record if you haven’t already!

After many, many listens, I've grown to love the equal- and odd-numbered tracks, um, equally. Only thing I'd maybe change is putting Nighttime Drive before Get Well instead of in between Devotion and Tenderness. I feel like that dip in tempo--not quality--is what throws me off. My favorites are still Devotion and Crown, but Peace Out and the title track are in fact also awesome, especially live.

 

Jay Som - "A Thousand Words" & "Can't Sleep"

 

a thousand words is so good

 

Wow both of these songs
