A beautiful record; beautiful in the way it sounds but also in Leech's observations about the world around him. Part of that beauty is down to Steve Gunn's production, which, as always, allows the music to breathe.
Favorite track: Empire (ft. Steve Gunn).

this album is the justification for the hundreds of hours this year alone i have put into listening to albums. this record has so much versatility, it could be very legitimately used as background noise, or it could be a full-blown story that takes you down many winding paths of tension and emotion. the only difference between these two scenarios is whatever you wanted this album to be. if you havent already, please let this be the reason that you check this album out :3 kaycs
