There are about 75 people in this band. One of the members carries 327 keys on his pants. The keyboardist dresses up as the Internet. One drummer has a ponytail. One drummer is eight feet tall. They all live together in a studio apartment in Portland, Oregon.

well, at least you gave it a listen. personally i love the texture and emotion in the vocals, but i can see how that could come off differently for different people.

the instrumentation is pretty nice for the majority of the album but those vocals are just cringey to me

I'm not a fan of the vocals either. I like the style in moderation, but it's hard to appreciate or emotionally connect with when I rarely understand what the guy's saying. It isn't how he pronounces, but he almost whispers so much and I just need more to latch onto.

Do dig the instrumentation though.

fair enough, Jacob. I think I'm more forgiving because I've listened to the band so much already

(possible bias alert), and generally I usually go out of my way to look up lyrics and stuff up when I

can't decipher people's vocals. and quite honestly half of the impact is in how the vocals are

delivered here: they're raw but have a really theatrical force so even if I didn't understand the

words at first I still felt an emotional connection.



but yes, for many listeners that style can definitely be off-putting. it really depends on how you

listen to vocals, really.
