Peasant is one of the most confounding and brilliant albums in recent memory and I could not be more excited for this

 

This is immediately one of the best songs of the year

 

Peasant is one of the gnarliest albums i've ever heard i think, and this song is unsettling in a different way. really excited for it.

 

What a strange and interesting song

Where do I know this voice from? Reminds me a bit of the guy from Everything Everything

 

So incredibly excited.

 

An accessible Richard Dawson record is still a very fucking weird record but oh god I love it

 

Yoooo forgot about this

 

The Quietus | Reviews | Richard Dawson

 

This album is unreal. I reaaalllly need the lyrics sheet but idk if he's even releasing one.

Between this and Big Thief, time for me to feel really weird.

 

Yeah I can’t wait to sit down with the lyrics, seems like a blend of witty one liners and some really sad narratives, he’s such a singular artist

 

Yeah, i put him up there with, like, Silo’s Choice and Joanna Newsom and mewithoutYou as lyricists who do really idiosyncratic, one-of-a-kind narrative songwriting.

 

This is stunning. My friend took me to see him a year ago and it was a really fun gig but I didn't persevere with his records. The same friend got me to listen to this and WOW. Lyrically amazing and also strangely catchy at times which I'd never expect from his records!

 

There has to be more to life than killing yourself to survive

 

This is my album of the year

 

This album is fucking cool.

 

Glad I listened to Peasant first. This is definitely a bit more straightforward but retains a lot of the same elements found in Peasant that I really enjoyed.

Can’t believe how catchy “jogging, jogging, I’m jogging, jogging” is haha

 

New Hen Ogled album September 25.

 

Sick!

 

I'm not sure I listened to their last one, but this new Hen Ogledd record is wild. Saw it described somewhere as music for a sci-fi kids show which feels pretty spot on tbh.

 

It def strikes me as adults who like Doctor Who Lol which is a burn, but also I’m an adult who likes Doctor Who.

 

Revisited this for the first time in awhile. Top five of the past five years for me.

 

Richard Dawson and Circle Announce Album, Share New Song

 

Was expecting it to sound heavier. Gonna take some time for it to grow on me i think, but i don’t dislike this. Just a little too silly for me at certain points so far.
