my god this is one of the best things to ever happen to the universe ever since it got created.

y'know, the main reason why i'm so inactive is just because it's kinda hard to come up with words for music that don't sound cliched. like, what am i supposed to say to this out side of it sounding pretty? this isn't related to the record i'm just randomly venting

i have absolutely no idea what the fuck is happening but someone played sean stephen's rectangular in the thing so i guess it deserves a 90

a music

this is like the radiohead of december first 2024

it's like the perfect in-between of both isaac wood-era bcnr albums

very wonderful

edit: fuck it it's a 100 from me.

it's certainly something

the solo in becuz is one of the greatest to ever exist and is more or less the only reason sound exists
