if you are looking at, reading, or even just glancing over this review, I need you to do a favor for me (and yourself): listen to this album. or even just listen to one of their songs. Unfortunately, this morning, Allison and Joshua, the two members of The Bygones, announced that the duo was disbanding, and even though they won't be making music together anymore, I simply can't let their brief discography fade into obscurity, because this is genuinely some of the most charming, ... read more
well it took me a whole year but i finally got around to listening to this album. for some reason my instagram feed has just been full of it recently, so I took it as a sign. and yeah, this shit is really fuckin good. her voice is amazing, the production is amazing, and its just top to bottom bangers. the runtimes here are seriously criminal though 😭😭
Favorite Track: Girl Like Me
Least Favorite Track: Stateside (I'M SORRY ITS STILL GOOD I JUST COME BACK TO IT THE LEAST)
I don’t think it’s nearly as consistent as An Insatiable High, but holy hell the highs on this album are high. That first three track run? Absolutely nuts. Bonus points for the fact that I listened to it on the beach, my life peaked right then and there.
Favorite Track: BELEZA PURA
Least Favorite Track: STAR WARS SAMBA (undoubtedly a banger but it feels kinda gimmicky)
A testament to human creativity. Not every track is a hit for me but the whole time I was in awe of what I was listening to. hundreds upon hundreds of samples shaped into a beautiful album, and it was made in the year of our lord 2000??? I can't even imagine how long that would have taken. unbelievable. undoubtedly worth a listen, especially for the lifechanging title track.
Favorite Track: Since I Left You
Least Favorite Track: Summer Crane
while it doesn't quite hit me as hard as I hoped it would, this is still a very good, quaint, comforting listen. Adrianne Lenker's voice is as amazing as ever, the writing is fantastic, and it is very pleasing to the ears. not as good as dragon new warm mountain, but that is a pretty high bar, so that's hardly a criticism.
Favorite Track: Sadness As a Gift
Least Favorite Track: Already Lost

I have to admit, Rage is a genre I have next to no experience with, so I had no idea what to expect when going into this album. my curiousity about it was just too strong to keep ignoring, especially since Bloodluxe came out. and yeah, I gotta say, this album is a fucking experience if anything. some parts of the album do lose me a little, like Never Go Down and Wipe Yo Nose, but I ... read more
