Maybe the strongest first-listen experience I've had all year... enough that I immediately gave it a second listen. Such a warm, inviting sound palette.... I'd describe it as somethig like "Vignetting the Compost" (Bibio) meets "Yellow House" (Grizzly Bear). What an amazing sound and album!
Resident Advisor seems to hate Rival Consoles... I'm really curious to see if they finally come around. He has definitely kept up the progression. I actually think I like it better than Nils' latest. As noted by AllNeed75, we really are lucky to have Erased tapes.
Had to edit my rating upward because I'm still listening to this. I love this album so much; a masterpiece as far as I'm concerned.
It is simultaneously accessible and atypical, and that is something to cherish in music. What can I say, if I made a "decade list" today, this would surely be in the top 15.
