I'm gonna update this with an actual review someday, but for now I'll just say that this is my favorite album of all time and champ is the greatest song ever written
last boards of canada first listen before inferno dropped ! as expected, this was also very good ! definitely my least favorite of their mainline albums, but their floor of quality is so high that even my least favorite is still really good. I will listen to this again at some point soon, but for now, this just didn't have much that I'm really itching to come back to. just like with the campfire headphase, I expect this will grow on me with repeated listens. but for now, this does ... read more

god bless tsubi club. I was kinda late to his stuff, meaning I learned about him right before he released 'laced up'. that song, and its accompanying video, ... read more
this is almost certainly my most listened to album of the year so far. it's quickly become one of my comfort albums, as I'm such a sucker for this indie folk sound. incredibly consistent, beautiful vocals. 'kill what you eat' is so far my most listened to song of the year, I just can't stop.
