music festival lineups are certainly one thing the US has the UK licked in

Ehh. Not sure about that. We have plenty of shit festival lineups. A few that are still actually curated. It's probably just a numbers game relative to population.

yeah but I looked up the Big Ears lineup and was all like 'we have nothing even a fifth as good as that here'

the forthcoming Armand Hammer record is excellent, dizzying stuff. Not as approachable as Maps, a pretty pointed headfuck actually, but really worth getting deep into.

It's on Fat Possum, which I thought might mean the vinyl was a bit more affordable, but Juno's preorder price is £54??
somehow have not yet listened to an Armand Hammer album

Fuck this goes kind of insane right

Would say that Maps slightly edges it for how strongly it works as a full album, and how it ends, but Paraffin reaches insane intensity levels through the middle

fuck this is amazing

new armand hammer is typically great. billy and elucid bring out each other’s competitive side, and while billy still does his 1000 year stare thing in his rhymes, there’s still a sense that they’re trying to make each other laugh
