It's a shame this Mogwai album is 4 years long otherwise I'd have started listening to it

the best songs on heaux tales also existed as singles for months before the album came out, then not much on the album approached those two songs.

I feel the same as Alfred about Jazmine. It's really great to see her have such a good year with all the acclaim, but it's weird to see her get it for this album when she already put out three classics. I was expecting her to continue that winning streak based on Lost One and Pick Up Your Feelings. It wasn't just about there being too many interludes, I just found the other new songs fairly forgettable. She's capable of better. Hopefully people who have discovered her through this era will go back and check out Reality Show and Fearless.

Very nice album. Didn't vote for it or go back to it a lot, except for "In His Arms," but I love the vibe of it.

I read this as YES CAN RAP and thought it was Vietnamese progressive rock with alto tenor rap vocals.

This was top 5 for me (but I'm a Lambert super fan). Seemed like a mere curiosity when it first came out; a nice side project and an opportunity for Lambert to spotlight another duo of underappreciated songwriters.
But the more I listened to it the more I came to respect what they had achieved. Incredibly intimate recording that transports me each time I hear it to the Texas desert. On good speakers or headphones it really feels like you're fireside with friends. And as you mentioned, that was especially moving to me given the circumstances of the pandemic.

There are some great lyrics on The Marfa Tapes, too. Not what you might expect from an album fronted by a superstar.
e.g. "Anchor": When the moonlight hits the water/ The reflection hits your eyes/ I can't take it any longer/ And this rope is pulling tight/ Be my anchor, pull me under/ In this river here tonight/ 'Cause I can't breathe when I'm with you/ When I'm with you, I can fly

Haha, what? I haven't listened to this so I can't pass judgement, but as a band who were much maligned a decade ago I'm surprised to see ilxors being fond of them in 2022. Is this actually very good or something?
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 15:55 (two years ago) link

Flower Boy remains my favourite of his by some stretch, but this had its moments (JUGGERNAUT).
God why is the Deafheaven so good? The songs build and break so satisfyingly, which is the opposite of my experience with them before.

Deafheaven was my #1. Came out at the right time and hit me like a wave. Finally went all in on their shoegaze/post-rock side and they nailed it imo. Also lots of beautiful personal memories associated with this one.
