"hyperventilating in the factory of sound"

critical indifference to this is predictable and irritating

it's really good; I feel like the critical indifference is mostly because it took so long since "You and I Alone"

surprisingly this actually gets better over time. love how it's a throwback not just in the traditional way but also in a stranger sense where it sounds like it's from an era when pop records were eccentric and strange. think "16 Stars" is my favorite track now. I love that "you could almost pretend to/see I'd always defend you" refrain

I really do love this album.

:)

it's 2018 and daphne and celeste have an album that lj cares about, what a world

it's an amazing record tbh but it's as much max tundra's big pop move as anything

yea I didn't know if it was gonna hold up after a few listens but it actually kinda gets better the more you know the songs

Yeah, I wasn't completely sold on this the first few listens, but I've really come round to. It's making a great summer soundtrack right now. I ended up ordering the vinyl as the prices have gone right down on Amazon/eBay. It was $11 including shipping which is an absolute steal.

BTW, does anyone know anything about CSS stuff for reddit? I have r/daphneandceleste - I made it ages ago, but have never done anything with it. So if you have a clue about that stuff...

this album is like if yasutaka nakata produced an xtc record so i have no idea how i didn't get into it when it came out

Listening party on Twitter tonight!
