Checked it out after seeing it on Ted Gioia’s list. Liking it a lot, some similarity to the Kelsey Lu album which sadly seems to be overlooked in eoy polls.

Only thing in years that I've bought based on the cover, though tbf it was very cheap. Worth the few dollars of course.

brilliant album, though that first track kinda towers over the rest

nice! starting to look like every single artist I like is going to release an album this year
is "For Props" new? I love it, as usual it reminds me of half a dozen other things without seeming at all imitative
listening to "Victim" again now and, damn, I'm pissed I have to wait until September for this whole thing (both tracks have pretty summer-haze atmospheres)

i really love exploring the corners of this guy's mind. after first listen, feels less sprawling and ambitious than last year's album. the shorter track lengths of that one played to his advantage, i think. if there was an experiment you didn't like, it would be over in 90 seconds or less. this time, the experimental tracks drag a bit--but the poppier, ballad-y tracks are gorgeous and well-crafted. of course, first impressions usually mean little-to-zero when evaluating yves jarvis releases, considering how the same but by different means evolved in my mind from a pleasant curiosity to my favorite album of last year.

haven't listened to the new one yet but 'same by different means' is such a classic album
― flopson, Saturday, 26 September 2020 06:33 (three years ago) link
New album is probably a top 10 of the year for me. One of my best musical discoveries of the year.

beautiful review by andy cush https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/yves-jarvis-sundry-rock-song-stock/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

The new album is so lovely. The best hangover album I've heard in a while
― J. Sam, Tuesday, 29 September 2020 13:54 (three years ago) link
Yeah, this is awesome. The last album still eludes me a bit but I find I'm sinking into this one pretty easily.

and now a new song + new band: https://pitchfork.com/news/yves-jarvis-and-romy-lightman-form-new-band-announce-album-with-new-song-listen
not quite sure what I think of it tbh, I feel like it might make more sense in an album context?

new album 'the zug' came out last friday. i'm digging it, particularly this little groove machine of a track

Holy shit thanks, how did I not hear about this?? Sundry Rock Song Stock was maybe my favorite album of 2020
― J. Sam, Thursday, 19 May 2022 21:58 (one year ago) link
starting to think that the zug is a major step up from sundry, and while it doesn’t approach the sprawl of the same but by different means, he makes up for it by packing his songs with fascinating diversions, and by focusing more on rhythm. he also seems to be an excellent guitar player
