I've seen this high on many UK AOTY lists. I tried (and will listen again) but it didn't stick with me although it is truly quite a listen. Joey, you should hear this for sure.

This was a great rec, LMS.

I enjoyed my first listen quite a bit.

Pharoahe Monch + th1rt3en

I may have overlooked that Julien Baker album. Revisiting today and it's good stuff.

Wow. Tamar Aphek.

Well i thought that was awesome but okay ill leave by RM

I was kind of worried it would veer a little bit too much in the Sonic Youth territory for you. I never really got much feedback from those mixtapes I made you. Kind of assumed you'd be turned off by the noisier segments of Drive.

Upon further consideration, I see that it's produced by someone with TWOD on their resume. Sorry for leaving you out of that CC.

Yeah, that Tamar Aphek album is killer. Except she loses me with the cover track at the end - As Time Goes By.

No, I love Sonic Youth and ive always liked Sonic Youth.

Your mix is great and i listen to it.

Heart you, strat. Sorry again for leaving you off that prestigious list.

Im used to it. I have no home here.

I haven't had a new album hit me so immediately in a long time, yet it begs for deeper listens. I hear Sonic Youth and Nico, but it's definitely its own thing more than those influences I listed.

No Home Record

Now that I think about it, elo sailor probably digs this album too.

I’ve given this some thought. I liked a lot of albums this year, but really there’s probably 5 I am going to end up continuing to take with me far in 2022, in no particular order:

My Morning Jacket
Strand of Oaks - In Heaven
War on Drugs - I Don’t Live Here Anymore
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats - The Future
Yola - Stand For Myself

There are other releases I really enjoyed at different points but these are the ones I keep listening to on repeat.

The drumming on this thing. Every element fires, but this already feels like a drum record for the ages. Good lord.

Cheers Reido!

Trag, give this shit a listen and let us know what you think of the drum sound. Or just what you think in general.
