Woke up early this morning to listen to Bon Iverās new album before work & I love how light this album feels. 10/10 would recommend sitting with this one
Very on brand for me re: dad-folk and an EP, too! "Sable," due out in October -- this track ("Speyside," a song that pivots strongly around guilt) is the first to drop from that future release
Heavy rain's set for the next couple days here in the fens. The freshly ploughed fields post-harvest will be sodden. The lights of the takeaway across the street glow in the mirroring puddles at the road's edge - and the rise and fall of tyre tracks through water has been the day's only soundtrack til I threw this record on. I remember hearing it for the first time, the whole thing, on YouTube in my sixth form common room, recommended by a friend. It felt then as though it came from outside of time, it still feels that way now.
A song about a particular bar in Portland, OR. And a ādark night of the soulā spent there. š„
Also: "the title is a metaphor for when you're not doing well. But it's also a song about redemption and realizing that you're worth something; that you're special and not special at the same time."
To my ears, itās the sound that snow makes on a moonless night. Lovely.
Listening to new albums from Lorde & Madison McFerrin today, but some different songs have been on repeat too: THEY.ās āDrive Thru,ā Destin Conradās āThe Last Timeā & Clipseās āAce Trumpetsā
