 Feel bad to say it, but I kinda forgot about this release until it hit Spotify recently. Maybe Tyler's most conceptual and less overtly lush album to date. Enjoying it a lot more than his last, but Highway Anxiety is one of the best guitar records of the 2010s, so it's hard to top that. Feel like he's tugging at something similar to what Nathan Salsburg has been doing this year with his ruminative Landwerk series. Sort of a communion at the edges of afterlife, searching for some thin connection. Or honestly this just sounds like a soundtrack to a sleepless - albeit peaceful - night. The whole second half really shines though, especially the sunrise of "She Swims In Hidden Water" |

On an unrelated note, Brace for Impact makes a damned fine bluegrass track

I’ve been led to believe there’s a song about Olive Garden on this Taylor Swift album and I am here for this extremely unrelatable content

I'm only two songs in. How do you guys feel this compares with folklore?

Listened to this one twice today and enjoyed it quite a bit. Scottish band, hearing a lot of Fripp influence in the guitar parts. Very polished and crisp production, sounds expensive lol. Actually kinda reminds me of a band I'd stumble on 2/3 down a Lollapalooza lineup, be surprised at how much I like them, and then end up catching their 2:00pm set from the Bud Light stage or something. Reminds me of Temples sometimes but less obviously psych pastiche. They're a little more glammed up - kinda like a better version of Mini Mansions or Jagwar Ma at times? (tho the latter's first record still goes hard)

^^Last year I tried listening to that, and Chocolate Starfish to see if there was anything to those guys. I bailed at around the halfway point for both.

Lot more jazz stuff than I expected. I can’t see myself going back to it but with a complete ignoring of Fred Durst as a person it’s got some high points

There's a hardcore Fred Durst apologist who writes for BPM and he stans their entire catalog. Nobody likes him.

 Extremely into this record of cosmic pedal steel explorations (North Americans - Roped In) Also extremely into the artwork by Brian Blomerth (see also: Pacific Range's new album; Ryley Walker's Golden Sings) |

Very underrated 2020 album. I really hope to see his solo stuff live in 2021.  |
