This man yearns like no other human being alive, and as a fellow yearner it hits. On first listen it’s pretty same-y, but I enjoy the whole album and Matt is able to evoke a lot of feelings with his words and simple (but beautiful) instrumentals! If you don’t like slow ballads that make you ache I recommend a different album.
I do enjoy a lot of Saint Motels music, even if it is just better AJR (not saying much). This album is painfully average even by Saint Motel standards. There’s a few songs I like because I have low standards for music to enjoy it, but objectively it’s all very fine?
Has some really solid moments but tbh I was SO BORED and was just waiting for it to end.
Rae and I are seeing Mustard Service live in July so I figured I’d review all of their albums! For being a first album, it’s super good and manages to be pretty memorable for only 28 minutes. The production feels a little messy at times but tbh I feel it’s charming and adds to the overall feel of the album. Definitely not the best in their discography, but still a great listen that I find myself going back to often!
