“he song's okay, I'm not really understanding the acclaim for it. feels like no one wants to say Whelan was as much an influence on Bissell as vice versa and it's all so meandering and aimless without Kevin's pop sensibilities keeping it together. ugh why'd they have to implode so spectacularly”
100% this

I actually know Palomar through Robertsona! You’ve sent me their stuff before, but I wouldn’t exactly say they’re better then this if only because weird comparison

Listened to Palomar's first record, pretty good, nowhere near this. Better than Silver though

New track SOUNDS amazing, bit disjointed though. Disagree that the Aeon station record is nothing special, but yeah the Bissell track does have that dose of magic

Interesting Ryan Adams pick, would have gone with something from heartbreaker as his best foot forward. Or not at all considering his reputation now

Foggy!! The lack of trad. chorus in the new one (and three types of reading ambiguity for that matter) i think works - you still get repeated melodies pseudo-hook types across the 7 mins which stick more n more with each listen and that build up to "no no no no" "up up up up get up" is a classic cathartic wrens release (and the increasing inflection on the second 'record's starting with regrets')
i wonder if he's gonna go full madvillian with this shit tho n no hooks it

also re: observatory there were a few songs which had that magic for sure - (and from my understanding these were the ones on the fuckin never-coming wrens album oh how cursed this world !) - but as a whole i did not love

three types of reading ambiguity is great, absolutely smokes this new one
haven't even heard the aeon station album lol. wasn't gonna listen to this either until i saw the rave reviews. it's decent but these guys making music without the other guy just doesn't work imo

Yeah I like the catharsis of old death but the ending after that doesn't feel like it "fits", something about how they normally handle lengthy song exits doesn't feel as resolved. Anyway, maybe I need more time, I found some of the tracks on Meadowlands were difficult at first. I haven't kept up to date on Charles as you have but I listened to the b-sides now, first impression is they're a bit unfinished (which is a weird thing to say considering the timeframes involved) but yeah maybe I just haven't got them yet. Three types was immediately successful to me though, like it just works

Three Types is like a top 5 Charles song honestly, one of the very best

"Hard to take it all in at first since the sections don't repeat in any expected way, but the more I listen to it - it's ALL hooks. There's half an album's worth of melodies to get stuck in your head packed into one track."
agreed rym comment person on old death
