I'm glad most of you guys enjoyed it. It's a beautifully dark record with just the right amount of dread mixed with indie singer songwriter tropes. It's like Elliott Smith got together with Pygmy Lush and, of course, Have a Nice Life, this being a solo project of Dan Barrett. It's sad as f*ck, sure, but it's also a wonderfully constructed sonic representation of those seriously sad emotions. Hits those depression strings wonderfully. I've always been a sucker for deeply personal albums but unlike Mount Eerie's album about his dead wife, I actually like this music.

I'll provide my RYM score as my rating.

9/10
