Foxing - Nearer My God (August 10, 2018) Album • Page 43

Yooooooo Lich Prince. The boys did it! Last 40 secs or so are tight.

 

now on Spoty - pressing play... now!

 

It good

 

one stuck in the wrong line? I noticed that one as well. Nice seeing two call backs on the record

 

What even is Five Cups. Holy shit the Holy Ghost of Justin Vernon annointed this song.

 

weave is my favorite song by them but now i think lambert is

 

I love the end of Lich Prince so much, those little falsettos are so infectious

 

go to bed or give this bad boy a play with my monitor headphones?

 

ANOTHA one

 

I’d say after first listen that Grand Paradise, Gameshark, and Lambert are pretty easy favorites. Most of the second half kinda ran together for me initially. Need to do much more digesting though.

 

This is flooring me. Really happy I didn’t listen to the pre-released tracks.

 

the string screech into the last chorus of Won't Drown at 3:47 is literally the greatest musical moment of the year

 

yes! i wrote about that in my review haha great use of the scratch tone

 

Bastardizer has the best use of bagpipes since Battle of Hampton Roads, what a fucking song

 

do you have a link to your review? I don't think I saw it but we seem to be noticing a lot of the same stuff, hah

Opening vocals to Lambert remind me of something off of And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out in a good way.

What an album. Gonna go pass out and put it on again in the morning.

 

Heartbeats requires good headphones and the volume cranked.. I feel like I'm transported to another world when I jam that one

 

On Won’t Drown and SCREAMING

 

have I mentioned how I can't wait to play the vinyl?

 

Gameshark didn’t feel out of place to me because tbqh this was such a jarring succession of songs that I felt like anything could happen anyway lol. I’m really excited to see how this goes from feeling a little disjointed for me to tying itself completely together. Really wild record

 

If this isn't my aoty then I can't imagine what will be.
Completely flawed by this. Only listened to slapstick before. And I'm glad I did.
This doesn't even feel like 56 minutes. Goes by so easily and I'm usually a fan of shorter albums.

 

Sitting in bed a lil drunk with Pizza and good headphones and believe it or not Grand Paradise still SLAPS!!!

 

good first listen

will listen more and report back

Gameshark still leaves me cold - also the Blood Bros comparison is lazy - a falsetto doesn’t a bb song make

Slapstick is amazing, also the opening and closing tracks

 

I do feel the record sort of pushes itself sonically into a direction after 5 cups.. by the time you get to bastardizer and crown candy it sort of feels natural to have arrived in that sonic space
