Hitting everything I missed on Pitchfork's top albums list. Say what you like about them, but they tend to recommend stuff that's at least worth hearing once.
This, in particular, is probably my favorite of this upcoming batch. Its often very spare, Microphonesey acoustics and twang, at other times shimmering electrics come in, a vague, mournful Shinsey bounce interewaves. On top there's this cracked falsetto, spouting sentimental sentiments that somehow crack my recent immunity to lyrics. The overall effect is engaging, haunting, well-paced, slipping through late nights and other moments of darkness with ease. Time Fading Lines and closer Till the Sun Rips are standouts. Even the titles exemplify the album, stretched through time, tinged with regret, but with a flourish of poetry that glimmers 4.5/5
