I agree pretty much. The high notes vaguely remind me of the held ones on “lost verses” (goes so hard btw) but that’s because the association was made. Kozelek rambles more for one, even before he began truly rambling

Album Rating: 4.0

“Real House” is way more Phil Elverum than it is Kozelek to my ears

sputnik uses adjectives to describe music challenge (impossible)

adjective spam is probably the least substantial form of critique, instant marker of lazy writing. even a 1-to-1 band comparison has more meat on its bones

i could probably pick 4 or 5 favorites but candleflame definitely is the weakest i think

Album Rating: 4.5

Candleflame is the most derivative song on the album, Cell Phone Says lacks staying power, those two are the weakest to my lil ear

Evol on last jfc Sunny

on first listens this is below songs and abysskiss, still stunning

Album Rating: 4.5

I just listened to Hours Were the Birds and it’s so good. quite a bit better than Songs

Album Rating: 4.5

and yeah Evol is the weakest
