Pretty sure this album alone put Harriet Wheeler in my "favourite vocalists to ever touch a mic" list.
Yeah man I don't know, this album is just an absolute delight to hear front to back, and I'll be blown away if I can find an album more warm, soothing and utterly infectious as this one this year. I'm simply too obsessed with this to not give it a 10.
This could be one of the most relaxing records I've ever heard. Take The Smiths and make them more simple, The Sundays may not have the same touch as them, but this record has a couple of very Smiths-sounding tracks like "Here's Where The Story Ends" or "I Kicked A Boy" which are personally among the best tracks of this album. The sound is lush, melodic, very dreamy and very relaxing.
The first half is good but the second half steps up the game with better tracks overall. ... read more
i dont typically find jangle pop and the adjacent genres super interesting. everyone wants what the smiths have but everyone forgets to make their version interesting. but nearly every track on this album is so smooth and stylish its really well done.
