Purple Mountains (David Berman)

Can’t stop listening to this. So grateful for its existence.

Certainly my favourite album of the year - and maybe the thing I’ve most connected with in a long while. Just so well written, so well sequenced etc. Yep - not an ounce of musical innovation but it truly does feel like a decade of energy, passion, enthusiasm, lyricism, etc to me.

Sometimes albums from artists every few years can feel like checking in with old friends. This feels like a life story from a fascinating new acquaintance.
