sigh I really like her music - especially Ivt Tripp - but this just felt so weak to me... Lilacs is amazing tho
I'm not actually sure on a RIYL. Their first album is more centered around guitar while the second album "Walking Like We Do" has more piano and wears it's 'pop' influences proudly rather than aiming for an indie rock style. The two songs there are my favourite two off the second record. They encapsulate the record quite well, with catchy choruses, witty lyrics, and showing the variety of sounds on the record.
This remains one of my five or so favorite albums to come out this year, even though I feel like there's been tons of stuff this year that I absolutely love.
as I stare outside my office window into the scenic, snow covered Appalachian hills, I continue to appreciate this album more with every listen. There's something pure and cleansing about this album.
Thought this would be a lock for my top 10 but it's sitting at 18 on my preliminary list. Incredible record, but damn it's been such a strong year for music.
