Imaginal Disk - Magdalena Bay
I made the mistake of listening to this the first thing in the morning, at the peak of my caffeine rush, I made a few posts glazing this album back then. I still think it's an AMAZING album though, I think the sign of a good album is catching myself humming it during the day which I was doing a lot of.
My favourite songs are definitely
'That's My Floor' & 'The Ballad of Matt and Mica', but a lot of the other songs I found myself just looping over and over. The final song (the ballad of matt & mica) kept just subverting my expectations of where it was going:
- it starts off slow, im expecting a winding down track
- the bass comes in super powerful out of the blue, i'm now expecting a ramp up
- then the beat comes in and it's a lot slower than i thought it'd be.
The entire album is like this, a completely unique sound that I can't really compare to anything (within my limited scope of music anyway).
(also sidenote, "love is everywhere" reminds me a lot of "complexion (a zulu love)" by kendrick lamar which is cool)
