New one has a lot of Floyd / Dead going on. A grower. Didn't dig it on first pass but this time through it's sounding pretty sweet. Anyone?

Nobody, huh? Shame. I haven't felt so conflicted about a record in a long time. I mean, it's a legitimately great record, and I keep coming back to it, but I keep wavering between 'whoa masterpiece' and 'did this get mixed up at the pressing plant with some weirdo pop psych Radioactive reissue?'I'm not sure I'm listening because I love it or because it's so...strange!

Haven't heard the new one - will have to check it out. Reckless Burning and Oh My Girl are fantastic. Her voice plus Wandscher's guitar = heaven.

I loved her first two albums, but then she kinda fell off my radar. Listened to her new one yesterday, and I'm not sure what to make of it. I think I need to turn off all the lights and give it a hard listen.

this is one of the best records I have heard in forever, agreed, it's more of a psych/UK folk record than alt-country and better for it...
just stunned by this album really. wow.

tylerw needs to get up on this shit - new album Marble Sun in particular
ha, ok, i'll check it out.

listening on spotify -- this does sound cool! kind of has a late 60s floyd-y folk thing happening which rules. i've heard bits and pieces of sykes before, but this sounds more up my alley.

yeah i went through her older albums and they are good, but she seems to have gotten way more psychey and spacey and jammy and better as time goes on, kind of evolving out of alt-country

This is really a game changer for her. Don't expect to find anything else in her disography half this spacey and weird. I'm STILL not sure if I like it! But I listen to it all the time!!

i'm pretty much in love after a couple listens
if she had a weird band name and was signed to some drag city subsidiary i think all the kool new weirdo america kidz would boner over this

yeah seems that way -- when i see her name, i think of no depression magazine.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
She should change her name Jesse Psych & the Sweet Psychs!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 21:04 (twelve years ago) link
I think Marble Son is the only album of her's that I don't love. good album for sure, but i don't really feel the same emotional resonance with it that I do with the others.
though I'm sure I'll love it after 5 more listens

I completely skipped over Oh, My Girl at the time and just discovered it. might be my favorite one
― just another (diamonddave85), Saturday, 22 April 2017 03:25 (seven years ago) link
Reckless Burning and Oh My Girl are fantastic. Her voice plus Wandscher's guitar = heaven.
still true

Just discovering her and getting that urge to plunge... The Air is Thin is practically making me levitate.
Could anyone compile a top 10 primer type thing?
