Reminds me of how I felt listening to Black Country, New Road the first time. I enjoy that Little Wings is a part of this project and I keep coming back. My favorite release of 2024 so far!

Such a unique and cool album - tells a story in a world built around a wee red guy. The premise is nothing like anything else being done right now, with some really lovely songs and instruments and epic trumpet🎺🎺
Best songs - Gymnopèdie, On a Grassy Knoll, Mountain Song

ok there's a lot i like here. i love the LINER NOTES! the album was written as part of a song-a-day project that seeks to have been iteratively happening over 12 yeaes. It does feel like music that gets written when someone has refined their instincts. I feel like good iterative musical practice is as much about learning to steer impulses, and there's SOMETHING here that sings that. It feels like the gentle and magical result of doing the right thing because you've walked these paths before. idk. i love it. it also just sounds incredible!!!

Here are my fav records that I have been listening to lately, this lineup strikes me as very "pi.fyi-core". Hope you enjoy :)
(in order of appearance)
-Thinking Fellers Union Local 282: Lovelyville <discovered this reading some Robert Schneider interviews after seeing the Apples in Stereo play for the W.C. Hart memorial show in Athens>
-DJO: The Crux <That guy from Stranger Things has a set of pipes, great happy album>
Panda Bear: Sinister Gift <sounds like The Beach Boys! the parts that don't are kinda atmospheric and very very pretty>
Bon Iver: SABLE, fABLE <he strikes again. very stripped back but absolutely gorgeous. Justin literally can not make a song that isnt somehow lush and cold at the same, like being covered in a sheet of ice that keeps you warm. He has this interview where he talks about the work and thought process behind it. Very cool!>
Black Country, New Road: Forever Howlong <this album features almost entirely female vocals, a nice change since Issac Wood left the band, and the vocals, piano, and woodwind instumetaion are just absolutely gorgeous, sounds like rain smells.
Cameron Winter: Heavy Metal <since half of this app is from Brooklyn, I'm sure you know this guy! He sings for the band Geese, but this record doesn't sound much like Geese at all. It has some of the craziest lyrics.I have heard in a hot minute, and is adorned by ~usually~ sparse and skeletal instruments, as well as Camerons odd yet alluring voice.
Hope you enjoy! lmk what you think of these records :)

Unbridled creative expression from an artist processing a difficult mental state. What keeps me coming back to bladee is his extreme self honesty and uncompromising creative expression. On this album drain gang reasserts their loyalty to their artistry above selling out. Like Yung Lean said in an interview. “I make music for myself” “When you start making music for anyone else then you’re just guessing”

Having never seen my favorite musician perform live, this was huge for me. I cried. I will be seeing it again. Strongly recommend for any fans of Sufjan - casual or stan
