It's an early contender for best track on the record, for sure.
I want a full piano - driven - crooning - ballads type of album after this one and the NY version she is playing live.

St. Vincent barely seems to acknowledge the existence of men at all in her new work.
wut, she has entire song about a dude named Johnny

Well, three technically. If that's the game we're playing. She tried to marry one, too.

I loved the tracks up to and including Los Ageless in my first listen, I'm not sure yet if the rest lives up to those. Not a fan of the ballads.
That closer is probably the best track though.

First pass through, there were only a handful of songs on this album that really perked my ears up, "Happy Birthday Johnny" and "Slow Disco" most specifically. There are certainly a wealth of musical ideas here but overall I think she's just onto something now that I'm not into; thematically, musically, artistically, this stuff just doesn't speak to me. But I'm glad it didn't let Joe down.

Isn't "Pills" an Antonoff song?

Yup, it is. Antonoff co-wrote 4 tracks on the album according to the liner notes, including "Pills"

I still haven't heard this album but I finally listened to "Los Ageless" and I liked it a lot

Los Ageless to Fear the Future might be the strongest consecutive run in her entire catalog, so far. Jesus those five songs! :luv:

Hmm I think the album gets considerably weaker after Los Ageless but I need more listens.

So glad you're liking it this much though, Joey.
