RIP ivory almond

waiting for @Brightsun and @Kintsugi to come back when she announces the album on February 2nd with the lead single and photoshoot release

fixed A&W - 81 Candy Necklace - 17 Let The Light In - 62

listening to ocean blvd's instrumental, i am absolutely in love with the subtlety of the drums they start out with a high cut that gradually gets removed as the song progresses, like going from dark to light / deep to airy

Salvatore vs. Tulsa Jesus Freak

Ok, so addressing your two points: 1) The imperfect mixing is intentional to be reflective of the meaning of the album - Moments such as the intro to The Grants with the misspoken lyrics, the sneezes and background noises in A&W, the little guitar licks and small details all over the album ARE intentional and well-done. However, like I just said, these are all small moments that pop up in the MIXING and COMPOSITION. When referring to the poor quality of the mastering and sound engineering, this does not seem intentional or an artistic choice. This isn't a little "imperfection," this is a matter of literal quality and clarity of the tracks on the WHOLE album. The inconsistency and difference in mastering on each track, many having muffled aspects, is just in poor taste, nothing else. And 2) The "rough sound" and "texture" adding to the aesthetic and vibe of the album. - Yes, I would agree that the tracks, sonically match the overall aesthetic. Even down to the grain/noise used on the album cover, and the low contrast of it. However, just because something fits or matches visual appeals does NOT equate to it being of high quality. Most people can agree that adding clarity and depth to songs is important; it's a whole part of mastering. That is why flat and muffled songs (for best example, Kintsugi) are frowned upon and seen of as lower quality. Because they are.

Please explain how this intentional. What purpose do these issues serve? This is so overdramatic and unnecessary. Also, why are you comparing Ocean Blvd to the quality of Blue Banisters like so many others have done. This isn't about Blue Banisters, so why keep bringing it up?

surf rock album psycho lifeguard 60s psychedelic beachy classics, go

to me, it sounds fuzzy/muffled overall, especially her voice. according to the credits, both Laura and Jack were involved in mixing and mastering, but Laura is more of an audio engineer than a producer, and my problem with kintsugi is the technical aspect

Tbh I've never gotten the BB hate. From first listen, it was already my favorite album from hers. It's her most comforting and inviting work, and for me, nostalgic in a sense (especially Violets For Roses, Thunder, Living Legend, etc.). I'm always transported back to first listen every time, and I think that speaks to its warmth and freshness.

ive been saying this from the beginning, but we all need to blame laura sisk ocean blvd is so poorly mastered, ESPECIALLY kintsugi which could've been an even more beautiful song than it already is this is the face of a villain

it better be good or else imma be upset

The power of leaks is on my mind [LEAK] Dark City, Paradise too Will you still love insiders' crime From snips but not from full leaks Honeymoun's love was always strong @fl0r1dakil0s lives on and on Yet still inside, we felt alone For [SNIPPET] Unknown to us But if you leak for me, you know I'll come And if you leak for me, you know I'll run Please leak for me, please leak for me Please leak, leak, leak Just leak for me, one leak for me Just one, one, one Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh
