The last minute of "Appointments" gives me chills. Love that this is coming out in October. This is going to be a perfect fall/winter album.
This line epitomizes Julien Baker's songs for me. They're so achingly sad, but there's this glimmer of light she holds onto and somehow that small, stubborn hope manages to stick with me more than the sadness by the time the song's over. Same with the entirety of Sprained Ankle. I feel like I should be depressed after listening, but instead I feel like I've just had one of those intense crying sessions where I feel better afterward than I've felt in weeks because I'm not numb anymore. For all the pain, the sorrow in her music is never purposeless or despairing, which is as beautiful as anything I can think of.
At first I thought the new song sounded too much like funeral pyre but i def don't think that anymore A+++ stuff
I maybe will have slowed down on Science Fiction before this arrives. Had I not started listening to her for the first time a couple hours before Brand New dropped last Thursday, this may not be on my radar. Some say it was bad timing for her. Good timing, for me at least. Excited.
I think it's good timing for her. I'm excited for both releases. A lot of others in between and after. 2017 has been good to fans
according to chorus any band releasing an album this fall has bad timing because Brand New dropped an album every damn thread
Ha, it makes sense here though as far as just the announcement timing goes. This has been my most anticipated all year and I'm so stoked to see her headline in November. 2017 has been a solid year for new music.
I must confess I was so busy listening to brand new that I just heard Appointments today. It is good.
