Man, this is a fucking great year for music. Great albums seems to keep popping up every week and this one from the member of Dinosaur Jr., Folk Implosion, Sebadoh and all around lo-fi indie rock pioneer Lou Barlow is another dank album. Some of the songs rock, and some of the songs are really smooth and tender. It is an extremely consistent album, strong and intriguing from start to finish. On first listen, I found it immediately clear that this guy is really putting a lot of thought, care, and heart into his work, and the results are inspiring. The songs are not necessarily anything groundbreaking but the way it all sounds and is put together is a little bit mindblowing. Check it out. And here is a fascinating Youtube video that gives you a glimpse into how this album was made. Barlow is a genius.
