Yeah, the more I play it, the more I like it. Really a fine album with nods to bluegrass and folk and avant-pop and many other music forms, but surprisingly unique and hard to describe. Pretty sure it's gonna be in my top few albums at year end time. The AMG has the tracklist misindexed since the first little snippet isn't actually titled and the first real song is track 2, "Blue Eleanor".
Also been listening tons to the Fiery Furnaces Blueberry Boat and it's without a doubt my favorite record of the year. Not quite new and maybe too eclectic for most, but a truly special and I think amazing album. Epic and fun and thoughtful and fun and interesting and ....did I say fun yet
Pitchfork reviews can be pretty silly to the point of being worthless, but they hit this one right. Check the customer reviews at amazon, though. Lots of people complaining that Pitchfork led them astray. Hehehe, love it.
Haven't heard anything about the Lovedrug album so I'll have to check into it. Agree about M83 but first heard it last year so it doesn't seem very new anymore. Guess it was only just recently released in the US, though. Definitely one to check out if you aren't familiar with it yet. One of the most highly acclaimed albums of last year and this year too. Kind of like what happened to The Notwist and their Neon Golden a couple years ago with the long delayed US release.
