I wouldn't say extremely successful... it did well, especially considering the type of album it is, the bad press and the absolute zero promotion. It isn't doing that well in streaming either; it's barely hitting 300 million streams in Spotify and YouTube combined. It'll do fine long-term, but I'd say this is another Honeymoon, except Honeymoon was released in a better sales climate + HM had a viral hit that even charted on the Hot 100

 

COCC only failed in streams and no promo in the world could have made it a hit. It's not music for the GP and even some fans didn't found replay value in it. 

Their biggest mistake was sleeping on BUS. It could have been a hit if they had sent it to country stations

I agree, Breaking Up Slowly is amazing and the melody is very catchy.

The OG cover suits the album so much better than the Neil Krug one tbh.

if anybody in the UK (i think they deliver worldwide too though the shipping cost might not be worth it) is still after an Indie Exclusives yellow vinyl, Five Rise Records actually has them on sale cheaper than the regular vinyl! £14.99

She's really never going to fix the Yosemite skip on spotify......

Just listened to this album on my balcony in the sun and it is so majestic and comforting. Truly sublime 

[triangles19 2,454]

I'm still so in love with that album. This is my favourite one by now. I'm still moved by it and listen to it very often. The biggests tracks on it are Cocc itself (what a banger); Dark But Just A Game and Breaking Up Slowly (the mix is so warm and excellent)

[anwdelrey 9,270]

Random but does this sound like Yosemite to anyone else? (the instrumentation btw)

warm! that's exactly the word for it! it feels almost intimate like you're right there in the studio while they're singing it

such a cute song, the bridge especially is lovely. i always play this as the album opener, like an intro. ngl it's nothing special but works so well when played right before chemtrails the title track.

 

cause I'm ready to leave LA and I want you to come

I'm on the run with you, my sweet love

 

even though i can kinda see why it was a disappointment as a single (a song that should build up the hype not make everyone bored) i definitely think that it doesn't deserve all of the trashing.

Me after wild at heart ends and the second half of the album starts

I think Chemtrail’s original release date was February 26th. 

 

Apple Music has the album as released on Feb 26th
 

 

So maybe WD was always supposed to come out the day the album dropped and that’s why the website said Feb 26th

I feel like she wrote this album for me in a lot of ways - I relate to every single song. Melodically, it’s so soft and intimate and takes me back to summer 2020 <3 I loved it upon first listen and my love for it has only continued to grow since its release.

well put– these songs really encapsulate "a life lived" as she said, and the themes of thoughtfulness & contemplation amongst all the magic of life's ordinariness has really spoken to me too <3

I think its because the verse's melody sounds real simple, but then the chorus builds and lasts well, and yeah the bridge has great longing. i think it'll easily be one of her most remembered songs. the chorus really sells it imo

Yes, exactly! The structure of the tracklist really reflects those themes as well, there’s a chronological element to it that really allows you to listen to the album as a journey of the mind, if that makes sense. I absolutely love it <3
