Nick Hakim — Green Twins (19 May 2017)

nothing else to do and i haven't listened to this yet, so i'm gonna live post initial thoughts on the new album, which is called COMETA and has been out for over a month by this point.

initial reaction: the first track "ani" is my favorite thing he's done since "bet she looks like you." rad fucken start, holy shit.

definitely going for a different vibe overall with this album. songs are shorter, more structured. not really green twins redux, either. i'm on "feeling myself" amd it's this weird growly beardo prince thing and not only is it good, he's never a song that songs like it.

*never done

yeah- just started side two and i already like it more than WILL THIS MAKE ME GOOD by quite a bit. definitely riyl his old stuff.

okay, to follow up on that more specifically-

if you're like me and fetter and prefer the early eps over everything, skip straight to "slid under":

album highlight right now.

otherwise, i understand why they put that in the middle of side two. it drops off. some of the songs are more of the soup from the last album, but just shorter.

overall though, yeah! good record! singles didn't do it justice at all. best thing he's done since green twins, easily. very solid 3.5 mics.
