Julien Baker - Little Oblivions (February 26, 2021; Matador) Album • Page 68

I’m driving in from Michigan. Stopping in Louisville for the night. I’m getting excited!!

 

Mental math holy shiiiiiiiiitttt

 

I love mental math but I get why she left it off little oblivions—repeat and highlight reel have similar vibes

 

mental math is fucking sweet, prefer it over highlight reel

 

Seeing her at the Ryman was a fucking treat. The Wild Hearts Tour is something special. Get to it if you don't have tickets yet.

 

Yeah that was my 11th Julien show and it was the best she’s ever sounded. She’s a force to be reckoned with.

 

Keegan with the hot take

 

Disagree with “didn’t love her earlier work” but other than that he is correct

 

I have to agree. I was more of a casual fan before Little Oblivions

 

Turn out the lights is still my favorite work of hers. Immaculate record.

 

yeah i was floored by Turn off the Lights - i don't really love Little Oblivions all that much.

 

Interesting that at the time of Boygenius's release Julian was the bigger of the three, headlining bigger venues and closing each night of their triple bill tour. Not sure why Little Oblivions didn't take off and kinda killed her momentum. I thought the album was fantastic.

 

I'd say I love all three albums about equally, albeit in very different ways. I probably listen to Little Oblivions front-to-back the most frequently though

 

i agree with the take on her albums but that’s besides the point? the point of the actual tweet is pretty indisputable, it’s odd that a side project is listed as the top song for a solo artist, especially when that song is sung by someone else in the project

 

Manchester orchestra’s top song is the gold… sung by Phoebe Bridgers ha.

 

also odd lol, at least it's a remix of their own song though

 

Fans of Julien and similar artists should check out the new Florist record that dropped this past week, it's incredibly beautiful and I think lots of people who like Julien would be into it

I wouldn't say anything has killed her momentum, she's doing great and growing bigger/expanding in sound etc., but maybe isn't necessarily up to reaching some tremendous stardom - to me she's a bit of a different kind of an artist, which is perfect too!

 

lol Salt Shed crowd Sucks.

 

What’s up? I’m on vacation right now and not there. Just loud talkers?

 

That and no one is into it.

 

Also, sound is awful.

 

Not as upset I ended up having to miss tonight, given what you’re saying.

 

That’s awful. I had a great time at Fleet Foxes there last week and have Lake Street Dive this weekend
