whenever i try to get into the lore or analyze the lyrics beyond a surface level my brain immediately goes to sleep (not even because it's particularly hard to understand bc that would just be embarrassing for me) but still a really heartbreaking and atmospheric record. radio towers song of the year? i need more purely ambient music like some of the lyric-less tracks on this and perverts so suggestions are very welcome maybe i'll finally listen to that grouper album i discovered ... read more
the lyrics are extremely optimistic and sugary and "empowering" in a very 2014 sense (see: katy perry's roar) which makes sense when you consider that this is supposedly the "radio song" of worlds. idk i just don't really like these "I'm powerful" nike commercial ass songs but everything else about it is not bad. most millennial song on the album.

Like the Beatles before him, Boone begins to delve into the surreal and supernatural on his sophomore record. The "moonbeam ice cream" lyric has become notorious in the past few months for its shocking symbolism, confounding many in the general music listening audience. But we need only look back to the 1960s to see where Benson pulls his influences from. Glass Onion, Monkberry Moon Delight, Octopus' Garden... are such acclaimed songs not just as "nonsensical"? In ... read more
makes me want to walk around new york city at night and in monochrome like a 40s hollywood movie
if you're not the target audience for this it's probably insufferable but i thought it was really fun
