Thanks…How strange - so it did. Totally passed me by and I count myself a fan. Really no idea how I missed that! Wasn’t on any end of year lists I saw and didn’t read a single review of it.

What a fucking week

#60

Loving the sad and the Sharon albums. Not checked out deerhunter yet - last one was a bit forgettable.

#61

SVE - wasn’t convinced on first listen - it didn’t grab me for whatever reason - but after a second spin I think it’s great. Like the darker, moodier moments which give it a bit more variation than the last album (even if on balance I think the last record probably was stronger)

Twilight Sad - I get the love for it but at the moment this isn’t quite clicking for me. Will revisit later this week

Pedro the Lion - a very pleasant surprise. Hadn’t heard anything of theirs before but stuck this on the headphones in the early hours when my little one was refusing to sleep and really loved it. Right up my street and will definitely have to explore their older stuff

Makes me want to paint my bike Yellow.

Highly recommend Its Hard To Find A Friend by Pedro the Lion at the very least.

#64

Huge fan of Deerhunter and Sharon Van Etten, really like James Blake too but there’s definitely some lulls overall.

Tried Twilight Sad but it’s not clicking for me, will try it again as I want to like it.

My buddy put out an ep last week, ffo Mazzy Star, Slowdive etc. I play lead guitar on track 2 (jag?)

#66

The James Blake is a bit patchy on first listen- some bland bits. The track with Travis Scott is great though.

#67

Listened to it on repeat whilst cleaning my flat earlier. Yep. It’s a great album.

Profoundly disappointed by it. I like a couple of songs but it all seems under written. Not nearly as good as their first 2 albums :frowning:

#70

Yup exactly, worryingly it apparently it came from 60 tracks and hours of jamming so yeah

#71

The Sharon Van Etten and Deerhunter both sound very enjoyable after 2-3 listens each.

Really wish bands would stop putting cack like Détournement on albums though.

#72

Sharon Van Etten is excellent. Seventeen is the Stevie Nicks power-ballad i didnt know I needed in 2019…such a tune
