On first listen it doesn't have a bombastic gutpunch like Offerings did, but gosh it's still pretty. We're In It and Welcome to the Endgame are the early highlights.

probably their weakest release to date but still an rexcellent effort. I like the stripped down approach

Apparently, I was the only one who liked their 2018 album ?Offerings? but that album really hit me over the head when it came out with how personal and real of a listen the album was. This brand new album from Oregon, band bring it back to what they did on their 2010 album ?Hunger an Thirst? with much more chamber folk/pop leanings than was on ?Offerings? and in many ways that really pays off for them. However, what leaves this album hanging is how unforgettable a lot of it is. When the album is on I enjoy it for the most part but once it?s over, and it?s over very quickly, I have already forgotten what I listened to. Still, lyrically it?s a dense and introspective look at life, almost emo in a way.

So my core issue with Typhoon's music until now has been that they try to pull of a larger-than-life musical landscape, which is unsupported by the song-writing and definitely not the vocals. 'Sympathetic Magic' is more stripped-down, straightforward, back-to-basics. In theory that should work for the band, but being grounded does not make you better. If anything, it only reveals the flaws in your song-writing and musicianship all the more.
