This album is pretty sui generis, no?

listening to this album a lot recently, and it is still so singular and great.
every record fiona makes is the perfect record for that time in my life.

I can only take the deep dive back into this album after I've had some time away from it, but boy oh boy when I do...
'Left Alone' hitting like a hammer atm. Feeling you, Fee-Fee.

same here old lunch - last time i put this on was dec. in the xposts there, but i had not heard it since the tour and shit i forgot how good it is - the biggest shame is how fiona seems to have no intention of releasing a new record, but only stray singles like left hand kisses - based on articles it seems she is content to live in her trailer property and smoke hash all day ymmv

i'm sure she'll drop a new record, but the gaps are getting wider between each one. considering how much of her soul she puts into each one, i can't really blame her for not wanting to go through that experience more than once or twice a decade.

seeing her live twice was amazing, she is such a great performer and the audience loves her infinitely.

I was actually just talking about how good this album is the other day
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Wednesday, 15 August 2018 15:56 (five years ago) link
her poetry is super on point on this one (is on all of them obviously) and i admire how the record uses field recordings and avant-garde methods to create such raw, powerful songs

'Regret' is a raging blast furnace that reduces me to ash, every time.

i had a very bad week/month which had a lot to do with trying to reconnect with an ex and i think i should've been listening to this album the whole time

Good idea

even the "fuck you you complete asshole" songs on this one are so nuanced
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Friday, 30 November 2018 21:05 (five years ago) link
Much of the album seems to be Fiona waving the listener away from the false door labelled "closure" and toward the real door labelled "get the fuck out"
