I mean, I’m not saying that as a bad thing. I still think they avoid the cringiness of Swift’s lyrics but it’s got a much more laid back indie folk feel than the previous Belly like sort of smooth growl. I also appreciate any artist that doesn’t stagnate.
For example I’ve been listening to Shore quite a bit and I dig it, but I don’t see it getting a vinyl purchase because I’m pretty much gonna play the first album or Happiness Blues if I’m in the mood for Fleet foxes, or more likely just listen to Bon Iver.
