Thanks - love Grouper.

Playing this album to death

This is so good. More engaging than Grouper for me.

This has been my most listened to album of the month so far, really beautiful. Went back to listen to her debut too and can definitely hear the Grouper influence there. Like the rest of the thread will also be checking out Tiny Vipers.

Some great lyrics too and lines that really jump out at you

I think I’d be perfectly content if come December I decide that nothing better was released in 2017. It’s pretty much perfect.

Rapidly coming to the same opinion. Already eclipses anything from last year. Don’t even mind the short running time.

Love this album. Really, really love it. Just as I was starting to listen to less folky/alt-country stuff, this and the Courtney Marie Andrews album have sucked me right back in. Both albums are gorgeous.

Listening to this after half a bottle of wine. It’s so so beautiful. Bump in case anyone missed it.

Still up there for AOTY for me. And she was stunning at Green Man. Wonderful stuff all round.

Think she’s gonna be my number 2. But also top 10 of the decade. Goooood year.

Yeah still a strong favourite of mine…she just nails the atmosphere perfectly. Keep coming back to it and it stands above all but a very few releases this year.

Some people think it’s dull but whatever

Was a real shame her EOTR set was beset with sound issues.

Yep, it’s a keeper. Timeless.

Listened to this album every week since it came out. I was lucky enough to meet her in Totnes, discuss the album and then see her play a live set in a candlelit church. They turned every light off for ‘I Live Now As a Singer’ at the end.

I think it’s my AOTY.

Definitely an AOTY contender for me too! I pretty much put it on every other day and let these calming and delicate arrangements wash all over me. Its utterly devine and like @funkycow said, completely timeless.

I bought my mum the Broken Twin album for Christmas in 2014, she still plays it! It’s a wonderful record

Hadn’t listened to her before, but went on a whim to see her last night. Beautiful, intimate concert (was only 25 people there). Consider me a convert. She’s like a modern day Joni :heart_eyes:

I think she’s the warmest human being I’ve ever met too, told her I loved the album and she just wrapped me in the biggest hug crys

Johanna Warren who did backing vocals on Not Even Happiness released Chaotic Good last month which is absolutely incredible. Easily one of my faves this year and think it got missed.

Starts out in a similar vein to Julie Byrne but just builds and explodes in to something amazing. Really deserves to be heard by more people

We’ve got a nice track-by-track up. Such a beautiful record!

Absolutely criminal to revive this thread without there being news of a new Byrne album imho
