So many fond memories associated with this album, it's certainly the most fundamental album of my childhood. It's not just the nostalgia that makes this album so remarkable, it is also genuinely just a flawless ambient record.
This is a really solid album considering Paul is now in his 80's and has been making music for decades. I think the real charm of this album is the passion, he's been making music for 60 years and is still as enthusiastic about his craft as when he was 20, and i think that's really beautiful. This album isn't to prove anything, because he doesn't need to, he's just doing what he loves.
Every track on this record just hits the spot, despite each song bouncing between a mellow sound to a more aggressive, post punk instrumentation, it feels so cohesive and seamless. For now, i can only imagine experiencing the shadowy and moody atmosphere of this album in the gloomier seasons, but i know it's going to hit so much harder.
The song itself isn't anything spectacular, but it is pretty and her vocals are mesmerizing.
This album is incredibly immersive, so many beautiful elements. Now it's time to experience laughing stock for the first time.
