Julien Baker - Little Oblivions (February 26, 2021; Matador) Album • Page 67

Dang, no physical release?

 

Resident Julien Baker dork in here to say that I think Guthrie is breathtaking, lmao. Someone on Twitter said it feels like a perfect encapsulation of the themes in her discography thus far and I agree. She’s just… ugh. My favorite, probably forever.

 

loved Guthrie since it came out as a Japan bonus track. absolute stunner

 

I’ve been listening to Guthrie ever since it was uploaded to YouTube way back and it’s so good. Excited for the other two to be released!

 

this song is great, I love JB.

which reminds me I really need to buy tickets to see her in 2 weeks

 

I've also already heard this song as a bonus for the Japan release, but I'm so glad to get it into my more frequented playlists and that it's gonna have its own cover (btw. very cool artwork), even more excited to get a couple more! Love the track so much, at the same time I do understand why it wouldn't fit the album!

 

Feels good to have this thread active again.

 

I love how this was announced like 3 weeks before release. Guthrie is a beautiful epilogue to the album and I’m glad it’s finally getting an official release. I’m excited for the new tracks too. My last hope is that we get a guitar version of “Song in E”(Mercy) in the style of the live version with Camille the on violin.

 

Oh that could be fun too, I'd love to hear a studio version of that, though it was a nice surprise she had actually shifted it to piano.

 

Edit: I am hoping for the best in her recovery.

 

I saw that too but honestly I’m not sure it’s appropriate to discuss in here unless she makes any sort of comment/post about it.

 

guthrie is my least favorite on the ep, good stuff

 

Are the two others full band?

 

yeah

 

Well, it's a fantastic song, so that brings my hopes up so much higher! Only I kinda forgot when it's out.

 

Is she ok? Did something happen?

 

I’m not sure it’s appropriate to discuss in here is what was said so let’s not

 

Was just concerned. Was mentioned over a week ago and was left up and not deleted.

 

Both of the new songs are cool but Mental Math in particular is pretty sick. She always has the best b-sides. Still think Guthrie is my favorite of the bunch, though.

 

As mentioned above it is probably best not to discuss unless Julien or someone closely associated with her brings it up.

 

This EP is a nice teaser before seeing her on Saturday.

 

Mental Math is already one of my favorites.

 

see you there

 

"Mental Math" is a sound that I would very much like her to continue exploring.
