This absolutely flew by. What an emotional rush of mournful rage. Still a newcomer to metalcore and never stops surprising me how necessary this genre is for helping me feel through all the anger and helplessness that comes with witnessing evil and tragedy.

Listening to this album feels like riding a horse hard through the windy wild. And yet have you ever heard a smoother saxophone?? The track list so dynamic yet consistent. At first I didn't believe it was a casual listen and maybe it's not, but the more I listen to it, the tracks really start to meld with my reality in such an ecstatic way. I listened to it again during my morning porch-sit today and it made everything feel so alive.

From start to end, this album has such a deeply infectious energy. So many addictive line deliveries. So much range and passion. It feels really special and I'm not going to be able to shut up about it.

Incredible storytelling, almost like watching a play. What painful, scathing, delicate pop. This has to be the mother of all breakup albums.

Exquisite. I am so enraptured by the spiritual, emotional beauty of this album.

This was such a warm, comforting listen. I love the tones and the artistry in every choice. It feels home-grown and mature and emotionally honest and the whole presence of it really puts me at ease, even at its most rocking.

All so dreamlike and lovely. Swan was a big stand out for me: I love that drum machine so far forward in the mix. She has a real talent for romantic melodies as well. I just want to watch the leaves fall to this album.

Something about this album triggered a very important memory for me and as I listened to it, I ended up writing a poem. I love when an album makes me feel not only feel grateful to be alive, but inspires me to create. What an engaging, enlivening work of art.

Utterly captivating. Her vocal performance range reminds me of Mitski: powerful and raw when it needs to be, but capable of so delicately conveying the most tender emotions.

The perfect synthesis of beautiful, confessional poetry and BANGING hyperpop here is so fucking magical. This album near single-handedly altered my taste in music forever when I first listened to it and I feel very comfortable calling it a masterpiece.

Just so fucking good. These guys are already legendary in my collection. Definitely more melodic than the last album, but just as punchy as ever, and the lyrics are so poignant and to-the-point. As soon as the album was over I had to listen to it again.

Feeling like I struck gold over here. This stuff rules, just some real hearty punk with a lot of chemistry going on, I'd love to see them live. AND they have a brand new album out! I def know what I'm listening to next.

Damn, this really got me. I was crying by track two. Gorgeous to the core. I had never really been super interested in Blood Orange, but the promise of Caroline Polachek drew me in and from the first track I was so fucking impressed. Grateful to have this as the soundtrack to a thoughtful, conscious, emotional autumn.

What a total gem to come across. There's a punk texture to the vocals that really complements the dreamy richness of the band. I'll be listening to this a LOT.

This LP's raw, alt-country POV is communicated so effectively and with so much warmth and complexity that I feel a bittersweet, almost existential nostalgia for a life I've never lived just having listened to it.

Dynamic, endlessly fascinating, and just so fucking cool.

Her voice is everything and her lyrics are so engaging. I truly loved my time with this album.

Listening to this album felt like reading through a girl's super emo poetry on her notes app and realizing she's the coolest person you know. Super solid shoegaze. Fem and troubled with a muffled angst. Delightfully textured with everyday sounds. I love the ghostly yet intimate feel of it all.

I first listened to this record in the dead center of high school and instantly latched on. I was a super sheltered teenager growing up in a very high demand religious environment and the whole spirit of this album felt so assertive yet relaxed in a way nobody had ever modeled for me before. It gave me so much joy to indulge in their dauntlessness and that joy persists to this day.

That golden highlighter yellow is the perfect signature color for this album: sunny in a loud, broken, overexposed polaroid kind of way. Her ability to find a groove and break or develop it at will is so masterful. She melds her signature soulfulness with noisy rock accents so fucking effortlessly at this point and I'm super enamored.
