Great song, and even better video. Will have to check out the full album.

Have you listened to this? Kind of a similar energy

I don't know, man. Maybe if you're high enough.

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

Cheers Reido!
Glad you're enjoying this. It sounds slightly outside of time to me. I connect mostly to the no wave elements of it. Jazzy and atmospheric, with endless nooks and crannies.

I really like that "Narrator" song, too, the way it progresses into an uncomfortable freak-out

That Big Red Machine record is pretty great.

Didn't pay attention much this year but there's only a handful of albums I find myself returning to:

Snail Mail - Valentine
Deafheaven - Infinite Granite
Godspeed - God's Pee [Whatever it's called]
Grouper - Shade
Tyler, The Creator - Call Me If You Get Lost

The War on Drugs album is okay but it might be a grower, the last one was.

That Godspeed album is damn good. The Deafheaven is good but fails to reach the heights I feel it could.

Yeah I agree with that. New Bermuda is an all-timer for me and I was pretty lukewarm on this one for a while but it grew on me. First half is a lot stronger than the second.

I tried it and switched it off after two songs.

I didn’t like it either though I made it most of the way through. Nothing wrong with it just not for me.
