Let's Eat Grandma

Yeah, it's fine but not interesting.

the main synth riff is v generic in quite an off-putting way, but even so i do like this song, definitely felt some odd jumble of emotions watching that

wow this is a bummer was excited to see the thread bumped, they really chucked it all to go for "random indie band opening for angel olson"

Bit disappointed by the new album. It's nice enough and the vocals are fantastic but they took away a lot of the things that made the second album so compelling. Some of it sounds pretty generic compared to what they were doing before.

Sad to hear this take.

yeah i agree, it's mostly solid (though the last two tracks are a fair bit weaker) but it lacks anything that really made them distinct before. i quite like "levitation" at least

Those last two songs are a real mood killer and feel like they should be bonus tracks. Kind of reminds me of Future Nostalgia in that way.

We are so gutted to have to pull tonight's show at Stag and Dagger in Edinburgh, there were tech issues beyond our control 😔 All tickets for tonight should be eligible for entry tomorrow in Glasgow - really hope to see you there 💝

hmm, I think this album's pretty great, esp. "Happy New Year" and "Two Ribbons." latter is one of those songs where I keep hearing the tension of it not going bigger in the way it seems ready to, so that every detail (slight distortion, a second voice tripping over the first, "watch them wash away") reads as a massive ripple in the fabric. reminds me of some other closing track(s) I can't quite place, has "So Tonight That I Might See" or "Looking Glass" energy maybe.

Agree the bookends are great, certainly the highlights for me based on one listen.
