#2679 A. Savage - Thawing Dawn

Savage ditches the rest of Parquet Courts, goes small and dusty and simple, still sounds like Pavement. It's intimate though, trading searing and seething for simple vocal lines and a resigned wit that could share a tea with Courtney Barnett, no sentiment without its crook and barb but set before you so plainly - it's disarming. Feels like a balm, somehow 3.5/5
