Sounds interesting! I will definitely check this out this week
It feels like a big day with both Animal Collective and Wilco releasing new albums!
By the way I saw you made threads for those two. I was up earlier today and made thread for those ones already.
That's reasonable
I definitely think it could've been longer. Not by adding more songs or more verses. But by having some longer instrumental sections, intros, and outros. Stuff that lets the song breathe for a bit. Some of the songs just felt a little cut short.
Asked whether artist revenue shares, user experience, or the editorial platform Bandcamp Daily will be affected by the acquisition, Songtradr declined to comment.
Maybe I'm being too cynical but this doesn't sound great
Welcome! And thanks for the thorough write up! I'm glad you were able to emotionally connect with this album.
I think the barking dogs on I'm Your Man are supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. It makes that song a bit more challenging and intense which I like.
After a few more listens I think I can safely call this my favorite album from Mitski. Although I can't say that I've given her other work as much attention as I've given this album. Perhaps there's a reason for that.
The thing that has kept me coming back to this album is the opening track Bug Like an Angel. I love this song. The lyrics stand strong and emotional and with Mitski's quieter delivery the backing choir acts as an exclamation point. The contrast between her and the choir gives me chills every time. This is just an excellent song.
The other song I want to mention is I'm Your Man. Honestly I just really like the outro with the dogs barking. It's jarring and eerie in a really cool way.
Overall I'd say this a great album with emotional and impactful lyrics. I'll probably come back to it a few more times and I'll definitely at least listen to Bug Like An Angel some more.
Before Preoccupations and Viet Cong a couple of these guys were part of the band Women. Their albums are worth checking out too
Awesome choice! I wasn't expecting a 2 month old album to make it to album club! But this one deserves the attention. I've given it a few listens since it came out but let me get one more listen in before I give any deeper thoughts.
Awesome! I think it would be a good idea to include a schedule for future weeks on the weekly post. Take a look at how hiphopheads is doing theirs.
Also can we set up an external group chat between you, me, and the other mods where we can discuss this and other community stuff? Lemmy direct messages don't seem to be great and I don't want to fill these threads with community discussion

Awesome energy! I haven't heard these guys before. Thanks for sharing
