Soundtrack of the summer for the second consecutive year.

How I have I not heard this before? That last, almost half-hour long track sounds like a precursor to Paddy McAloon's classic "I Trawl the Megahertz".

Played this in the car and my two-year–old LOVED it.

The kids are alright.

This is some wild shit, but I love it so much. A double album, four years in the making. Perhaps their last one? Put up on YouTube without ads. Or purchasable/downloadable in .wav format (via a MegaUpload link!) if you go to fucking GeoCities of all places...

But it's full of brilliant, "off-kilter" (sorry) Brill Building-type pop that sounds like it's being played at the Roadhouse in Twin Peaks. Instant AOTY contender.

Standouts: "Kingdom Come", "Dreams of You", "Government Cheque", "If You Hear Me Crying".

Flutes: so hot right now.

This is so good. Holter has basically made her own version of a sophisti-pop record, and I fucking love sophisti-pop.

Might actually be better than Have You in My Wilderness for me, although time will tell.

A real step-up from their excellent debut!

Big contender for fav record of 2023.
