God, this record sounds so good. This is easily one of the best vinyl records that I own.

Okay, so... after four listens to the new record ...

1. What We Lose...
2. Generals
3. Be Here Now
4. Lovers Know

I'll probably listen to it again today and I will.

Listening again and... I've got New a Moon far too low on my above ranking.

Man, context is everything. Reading through the liner notes while listening has me reeling. This record is so potent and present. It's complete sense memory. I wonder if this will end up being my favorite Mynabirds record years from now. It's so personal and immediate. Just... wow.

The record has its own distinctive sound, but I believe that it's a lot closer to Generals than the other 2 in spirit.

I think that it might grow to be my second favorite actually.

Part of the chorus from Shouting at the Dark sounds a bit like Beach House.

This is probably going to change a lot, but for now:

Hold On
Witch Wolf
Shouting at the Dark
Be Here Now
New Moon
Golden Age
Wild Hearts
Cocoon
Ashes in the Rain

I'm so happy right now.

Wild Hearts might actually be one of my favorites now.

I think I'd rank this album as their second best.

I have a very hard time ranking Mynabirds albums. The first one is my favorite, the rest can be in any order really.

Big fan of the horns on New Moon
