it is kind of incredible how much I love love love the first side of "Tell Me How You Really Feel" and yet I can never make it through or really remember anything on side 2

She put up a few of the new songs in a stem mixer. "Before You Go" sounds great with just drums/vocals/synth pad, gets weird and austere.

This sounded good on the radio the other day.

Courtney Barnett, I still like her

three weeks pass...

Album's out, it's ultra ultra ultra low key and pushes in some unusual directions for her. Still the first listen but I'm enjoying it. The drawl is a little unchecked on a few tracks but I'm sure I will ease into it.

Love the gtr at the end of "Turning Green"

You Suffer (10 Minute Version) (morrisp), Friday, 12 November 2021 23:21 (two years ago) link

I really got into "Here's the Thing" which is unassuming but has a lot to offer. Noticed Mr Soto's p4k review, don't agree it's her least interesting, but I'll be interested to find out how much it grows on me.

It's a pretty unassuming album, def feels like a "grower"

xxp Hey, Alfred's review kicks off talking about that gtr part! "Good morning!," Mr. Soto

You Suffer (10 Minute Version) (morrisp), Friday, 12 November 2021 23:46 (two years ago) link

Responses elsewhere seem to be generally more positive. I like it, but I still get more out of her first album.

put her on a pedestal and she’ll only disappoint you
