my friend recommended his song āCarthageā to me a couple years ago and since then, his nameās been on my radar but i never really took the time to properly dive into his discography until tonight. the weather getting cooler here has me craving the lush and warm sonic landscape of guitar music and this album is just what iāve been looking for. itās some of the most magical music iāve heard in a long timeā¦ i also recommend wholeheartedly thanking your friends for music recommendations that you really resonate with, even if you listen to it years after they recommend it, and even if thanking them sounds or seems sappy. recommending music is such a special and sacred thing and i always like to hear when someone connects with something iāve sent them, whether i talk to this person every day or once every few years. sharing music is choosing to love and we should spread that love all around, all the time <3
maybe i listened to it at just the right time to change my life and me as a person but itās amazing i think some of archys best work. canāt recommend it enough
I used to be a huge fan of Iceage during the late 2010s post-punk-revival-revival era. They were definitely a standout of the bunch. I fell off of that sound for a bit, but then Elias collaborated with Dean Blunt on my favorite song of last year ("Smile Please") and my interest was re-sparked. A bunch of people recommended I check out his new solo album and I'm so glad I did. It's really special.
