Thanks for the heads-up--this whole album has really grown on me since first checking it out due to this thread!

"4Runner" reminds me both production-wise and lyrically of Kurt Vile ca. "Freeway" and The War On Drugs more generally--a lot of this album nails the feel of a slightly more abstract Vampire/HAIM hybrid, which isn't necessarily surprising but am esp glad he used Henry Solomon on so many of the tracks, someone who I'd only previously heard on HAIM's "Summer Girl" (Solomon paired with those hyper breakbeats on "Kinney" is a big highlight for me).

Am way more into this album as a whole than any of the VW records--FWIW, so far this year, the only three 'indie' rock/pop/folk/R&B/w/e albums to wow me so far have been Buck Meek, Spirit Of The Beehive and now Changephobia (what a clunker of a title though, although I will concede that "Morphophobia" wouldn't have been sung as smoothly on the title track)
