Faye Webster - I Know I'm Funny haha

yeah i hear that much

I like this album a lot, after two times through several of the songs already stand out. I wish it had a bit more dynamic range and that "Cheers" wasn't such an outlier. The songwriting is strong but the similarity in tempo and production throughout can make things blur together. Still, a very nice record. Definitely good rainy-day coffee shop music, in a good way.

new album is all about letting waves of repetition wash over, i like it

Yeah, it’s very nice. Meditative ‘70s singer-songwriter slow-weekend-after-a-breakup vibes. Drinking tea, making no plans, watching the afternoon light change.

lol my last post here was calling her rainy-day coffee shop music, this one is more like tea on a cold sunny afternoon. (Maybe the next one will be cocktails at a slightly sketchy lounge.)

I'm getting used to it.

Wanna Quit All the Time my favorite one in here. Opening track sounds like Wilco.

The queen of dreamy major 7th chords strikes again

this is a good album. wilco comparisons are otm, which makes sense since she cited them as a major influence in her rolling stone interview (the same interview in which she said she didn't care for dylan or the beatles, which is whatever because she also said she loves wilco who very clearly worshipped them both)

i listened to her last album a lot as i was going to sleep, i suspect i'll do the same with this one. it's not a knock, more a testament to faye's skill with woozy, dreamy repetition

"he loves me yeah!" sounds like a lost grandaddy recor

d

"I know I'm funny, ha ha" is a line that plays in my head most days since listening to it. Beautiful 5 seconds of music
