new album love is an art out 3/27, produced by dave fridmann, both songs released from it are frankly incredible

one month passes...

as tim f and i have been discovering, her last two records (rabbits on the run and liberman) are really amazing too

also i have a stream of the new one and think it's kind of a masterpiece

I remember loving Dear California when it came out but never followed through on checking out the rest of that album.
Thanks for the reminder Brad!

New album is out today (it's Friday already in Oz) and I can listen to it properly and if I just focus on that one thing I am so happy.

my favorite part of "i know you don't really mean it" is the humming at the end

Miner’s Canary was an odd advance single but an awesome closer

i also really love the blown out full band outro of "future pain." that song really gets to me for some reason. "turn down the lights / drink enough until we see each other right / this place won't bite but it won't save you either / we're going down tonight" - good lyric, great delivery

fridmann did a great job

not sure how "the only way to love"'s lyric/sound/arrangement has the exact same shape of my experience of love, but it does

omg, i'm loving this.
i confess this is the first album i hear of her.

this album is giving me life.

two years pass...

"White Houses" is not just Vanessa's best song (per a recent Brad post elsewhere) but one of the best songs by anyone. That odd mixture of idiosyncracy, economy and generosity that typifies many of Taylor's best recent songs. It really feels like it tells a fully fleshed out story in less than 4 minutes, the narrator growing and learning before your ears.

I didn't realise Lindsey Buckingham plays guitar on 'White Houses'.
