I thought that the Scallops release was pretty underwhelming tbh, check out Plain Speaking and Milo's most recent solo album.
Thanks for the Sober Drunks shoutout. The creation process was months of just of unrelated jamming (though we only used around 12 cuts for this record) and taking those recordings and trying to put them into a more digestible format. The meandering parts are done somewhat on purpose assuming that you mean the intro and the
Rain Dance excerpts. The introduction is to set the tone that you're getting something that's cluttery and weird. Both of those parts also serve to make what they transition into more surprising, but I can also see where you're coming from. I appreciate your thoughts on it.
Also there are strong modern classical elements when the piano comes in. Revert that RYM vote foo.
