thread of foxing on the occasion of their 2018 extremely warped and fragmented emo album nearer my god

weird/fun chord progressions on that one, I confess I haven't been straightforwardly bowled over by the new songs like I was "slapstick" or "nearer my god" but I am still cautiously optimistic

based on the twothree new songs i'm excited for this to outdo nearer my god

lmao HELL YEAH

huh i should go to the hammerstein show... love hammerstein

how could you be lukewarm about this one!!!!!

I'm listening back to all the singles now, I guess I mainly just don't find their synth/electronic sounds very interesting and the mixing/production hurts my ears at times, I miss the warmth and spaciousness of the previous records (there is a bit of this on "speak with the dead" at least)
