This is the One We've Been Waiting For

 

It felt odd last year for them to be touring on just the single but her production career makes money so I'm sure she was approached for something she couldn't turn down last year. She said at Pitchfork she doesn't have any sort of touring setup for production.

 

these songs are quite lovely.

I should run through that last album again nothing really clicked besides the single. "Pool Hopping" still an incredible earworm

 

Nah the last one was all rippers no skippers for me

 

New single too:

Yeah this is already sound of the summer, love this!

 

Looks like Truck isn’t on the album

 

Found this to be pretty dull on first listen, unfortunately. Maybe it’ll grow on me but this feels like an album almost entirely composed of the type of tracks that never clicked with me on her last one.

 

All the pre-release tracks have been bangers so I’m excited.

 

Gotta say, I think this might be the best one yet!

 

I'm only one listen in but my initial take is that some of the previous stuff may have had higher highs, but this is the most consistent front to back.

 

This is an enjoyable listen.

 

Loving this record! She has such an ear for poppy irreverent songs. I think she is doing something unique within this era of female indie artists.

 

this is just about where I'm at, and I'm not sure if it's higher highs or just more variety. the other albums all had some times where it gets heavy and weird and the only track that comes really close to that here is What's The Fuzz.

 

Yeah I am very whelmed by this, it's just kinda there. I loved all three records before this top to bottom.

 

I like this but each project she’s released I’ve liked a little less than the one before. I’m not sure how much I’ll return to this.

 

I feel like this album could’ve used another high energy banger or two

 

The production on this is so immaculate. Something to discover in every song, rewards repeated plays

 

This is exactly how I've felt. I've enjoyed bits and pieces of every album, but nothing has topped her first release for me.

 

Jumping into this now

 

This has definitely been growing on me the more I've listened to it. It's a great late-summer listen.
