Pinned Review
This album is sort of impossible to compare to other Bright Eyes albums just because of how singular it is. In sharp contrast to it's sister, I'm Wide Awake It's Morning, Digital Ash in a Digital Urn ditches the alt-country guitars, drumkits, and warm harmonies, trading them for drum machines, synthesizers, and distorted electric instruments. The sound is the first thing you notice about the album. The instrumentation is cold, digital, almost eerie. It is the dark to I'm ... read more

I've been in some sort of album listening slump, and this record helped pull me out of it. I've been in love with this album for many years, in a way that only an Adrianna Lenker album can make you fall in love. Her songwriting is so singular, so concise and expansive in one breath, in not only her words but her melodies, her vocal deliveries, her style really shines through in every note and word. This album combines grungy and upbeat indie rock with americana singer-songwriter in a ... read more
If I only had one word to describe this album, it would be eclectic. This record is vibrant with sounds of southern rock, country, indie, gospel, noise, prog. It soars with organs and bongos and ripping guitars and odd time signatures and shouted lyrics. I See Myself rips with a catchy chorus backed by southern gospel singers, 2122's devolution into noise and screaming never fails to hype me up, Domoto's beautiful melodies over pedal steel and piano, this album manages to be both ... read more
Can't believe I missed this one last month when it came out. This album feels like it's always very close to falling apart in your hands, like eating a messy sandwich. Always threatening to spill all of its ingredients out the back, but always managing to hold it together until the very last bite. This feeling of controlled chaos not only adds to the beauty of this record, but makes it beautiful in a way that is all its own. And this thing is intensely beautiful, with acoustic guitars ... read more

Happy 2025 everybody! To start this year off, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and listen to an album that I honestly didn't really see myself listening to and loving. This record is really just one song, about an hour in length. The artwork is worth talking about before the sound of the record, because the artwork is really excellent. It's incredibly evocative, almost shaping how I heard and interpreted the album. It's a group of wanderers, dressed in dark and heavy ... read more
CATCHUP WEEK DAY 7/7
I'm honestly sort of mixed on this record. I really didn't expect this album to me my hottest take of the year, quite the end to the year and to my catchup week. I really enjoy a lot of it, Warsong and Drone:Nodrone really stand out to me as excellent, and the entire album has these really intricate soundscapes with layers of distortion, synth, drone, strings, and consistent interesting drum tracks to tie them back down into shape. Robert Smith sounds exactly the ... read more
