    hey you lil piss baby

    Really into this. I liked Clean a lot but other than a few standouts I thought it was mostly just solid. This one feels great from top to bottom. I've always been less interested in the slow and quieter songs than something like "Cool" or "Your Dog," but I think those are the standout moments on the new record. "bloodstream" and "night swimming" are early favourites. It was to be expected but the 90s vibes are huge here.

    “Meticulously conceived as a three-movement cycle divided by mood and theme, each represented by a color — blue for sadness, depression and heartbreak; yellow for paranoia and illness, mental and physical; and gray for death — the album can be piercing in both its plain-spoken specificity and also in its wide-lens view of personal trauma and suffering”

    Ah this explains the vinyl pressing design and tracklist. Neat.

    I really, really like this album and it’s definitely more consistent to me than her last one.
     
  4. Loved every song on the last record, but after a week with this one I’m not as crazy about it from front to back. First three songs are a killer run though, circle the drain is probably the best track in her catalogue. Really dig Up The Walls and Grey Light too

    Stain is so cool and dark. I kinda want it to explode into a heavy ass rocker but i appreciate the restraint in a way.

    Only about half way through but so far this doesn’t seem like a retread of Clean at all to me. A lot more risks taken here.

    I'll write you into all of my songs Supporter

    Wasn't a huge fan of clean (just recently relistened) so I'm glad to hear most of you think the new one is a step up

    Clean is superb. Only heard the singles on this one but those are excellent. The bar is high.

    Just been listening to the Circle the drain/Yellow/Lucy on spotify (I don't if it's actually like a 3 song ep or they're just bundled together on there for some reason) but holy fuck they're amazing. I didn't even notice Yellow was 7 minutes long. I never wanted it to end. Just amazing.
