Great Grandpa - Four of Arrows (October 25, 2019) Album • Page 3

halfway through this album on my first listen rn and there's a very good chance it ends up being my favorite of the year

 

the singles are my favorites on my first listen, but I've listened to both of them 10+ times so that's not a knock on the rest of it. bloom and Rosalie are two other standouts for me. dark green water -> digger is a beautiful way to open the album and, imo, flows like it could be one song. it isn't quite as low key as the singles would've suggested, though, and there are three or so songs that capture the same kinda energy as plastic cough. the closer is extremely Frances Quinlan vocally, and I am sure some of you will be stoked on that. really need lyrics

 

Oh my god there are still a couple bangers on this!? Be still my heart

 

Wait did the album leak?

 

Nope

 

How are people hearing it early then?

 

He’s got an advance!

 

they're bangers but they’re folky bangers

There’s a certain corner of the internet where I’ll be writing about this album

 

agree

 

goddammit

 

*middle finger emoji*

 

Ooooh I finally just listened to Digger and this is excellent

 

I knew I could count on you. Jordan talk to me. What are yr standouts, how many times did you tear up, etc

 

I am a big huge fan of Dark Green Water, like it's a song of the year contender for me I think ("I won't ask anything but forgiveness/ once I have the courage to explain"). also love English Garden (this one reminds me of "Not Abel" if we're talking about Hop Along), Bloom (which is somehow like this righteous mash up of 00s pop punk and 90s country pop?), and Split Up The Kids (which made me go back to the stereogum feature to read the story about it).

This one is the real deal people!

 

cmon guys its over a month away. DONT DO THIS! ughhh

 

(but please keep doing it)

 

Dark green water really fucked me up too. I like English garden but I actually wish it didn’t come so early in the tracklist. Man, bloom is such a sick song. I think between us we’ve mentioned about half the album as our favs haha

It’s honestly kinda wild to me that the band that wrote like 28 js later wrote this album lol. It’s like going straight from the albatross to nearer my god. Next fucking level

 

i hope both yr advances mysteriously vanish but also........omg stoked

 

I’m not ready

 

yr 100% not ready, I'm sorry. I wasn't either, though

 

not helping!

 

let’s stop pretending we don’t want this hype, I need it

 

tbh it already means a lot to me and i hope it means a lot to a lot of people

 

Listened to Mono No Aware and Digger today and wowwww, I liked their last album, but it’s undeniable that they’re on an entirely different level now.

 

Very happy to hear this
