- “I need a little bit of space” feels like the last bit of summer hanging on as the fall weather starts ↩
- I’ve listened to a couple things off this album, and it’s really best to completely ignore the lyrics and just listen to the sounds, the lyrics are… not great. ↩
- Really enjoying this one ↩
- The bass line to this is excellent, but in a way that I always want to describe as “filthy” and can’t really explain why. ↩
- It is! Well titled! ↩
- Of an entire album of “I love this and I can’t stand to listen to it because it’s too accurate to what I’m sad about lately,” this one takes the cake for condensing that feeling the best. ↩
- Possibly the platonic ideal of the portion of my taste in country music that I call “wistful boys singing about how they miss Back When Things Were Better” ↩
- Home Free is great, and this so perfectly captures the exact vibe that it’s meant to ↩
- I like the sound of this one, but the actual lyrics are very… excited about the collapse of civilization? Not a fan of that. ↩
- Really love this one, great to sing along to ↩
- Speaking of music that feels wistful for When Things Were Better, Yoke Lore’s sound is that feeling, but as, like, California pop instead of Southern country ↩
- big mood ↩
- The other “I can’t bear to listen to this one” off this album ↩
