Has she consented to that?...Yes it is. Very happy. Need to get my copy from my local - probably won’t happen till Monday. Will probably grab St Vincent while I’m there.

I always pay attention when @Twentytwo says that an album is his favorite and damn, "Autonomy" is a killer of a record. Can't believe I missed Stephanie Lambring but glad I know now!

I, too, was surprised with the new I&W album and share your sentiments. It's one of the best of the year for me at this point.New Iron & Wine and St. Vincent are very good. I had the lowest expectations for both since I don't think either have released a good album in a while. Iron & Wine is the better of the two IMO, it's much more folksy than his recent works and the addition of strings on a few songs is beautiful. I didn't like St. Vincent's too much at first but it's growing on me. This new one is easily better than Daddy's Home and Masseducation. She can go even heavier/darker if she wants, but the "lighter" songs harken back to some of her earlier albums so it still works.
I absolutely LOVE Our Endless Numbered Days and The Creek Drank the Cradle so when he released The Shepherd's Dog I was repulsed. What is this??? Horns? Saxophones? Drums??? no!! get outta here. I like some of that album and subsequent albums since, but he had lost that magic IMO. I also believe his voice is too soft for a lot of instrumentation and is better with less around it. This new one strikes a nice balance musically.I, too, was surprised with the new I&W album and share your sentiments. It's one of the best of the year for me at this point.
Hey @RenegadeMonster what were your thoughts?God I’ve been so excited for this Dua Lipa album for SO long, and the first 2 singles for it were great. But damn these reviews aren’t looking great and have me worried now
Personally, I liked it better than her last albumHey @RenegadeMonster what were your thoughts?
They have really achieved something cool with this album, in replicating the vibe of their live performance in a studio album. I feel like the way this is best represented is in all the gradual tempo shifts by the drummer in the more energetic tracks. Their live show is so entrancing because you feel like your on this roller coaster ride as things speed up and slow down so naturally, but of course that is so hard make seem natural.Holy fucking shit! The Mdou Moctar slaps!!
