A really pretty and moving listen. First project I had listened to from This Will Destroy You, absolutely love the band name too.
Honestly a project thats due for a re-listen in my life, I watched Moneybag recently and forgot how good of an album this was, great post rock project.

Fav Tracks:
The mighty rio grande
A threee legged workhorse
Villa Del Refugio

Come on this was a 2019-2021 staple and in retrospect it STILL has hits. Top 2 of his albums, maybe even better in what it sets out to do over GBGR, although slightly less iconic.

Fav tracks:
Fast
Maze
Flaws and Sins
