Are the Kintsugi lyrics as personal and revealing as the Fingertips lyrics? Are the two songs somehow similar in sound, themes explored, etc? I remember she described them both as wordy, but not sure what to expect from Kintsugi

 

Spoiler

Kintsugi is definitely personal (and she name drops somebody), Kintsugi is more ballad-y

Is it confirmed that she says Lake Placid? I thought she says "Do you get it?" at least that's what @fl0r1dakil0s teased.

 

 

Spoiler

i thought so too but listening again and very closely i think she might actually be saying lake placid  :thumb3:

Less revealing, but just as personal if that makes sense. Kintsugi is very cathartic, she's working through generational issues in more of an abstract way. Fingertips, still abstract, is straight up devastating and revealing about painful memories and talks about her entire family.

I feel like the standard cover fits this album best, but I really want the store white vinyl. My only complaint with that one though is the title isn’t on the front and there’s no track list on the back either

The Judah Smith interlude following A&W is such a great choice imo

Yes, I would say so. Kintsugi is more classically structured with a coherent chorus (and beautiful melody to boot) but retains the run-on-ness that bleeds over totally into Fingertips, which is her just singing whatever was on her mind and heart at time of recording. Fingertips sort of functions as an interlude I’d argue.

I never anticipated Paris, Texas or Sweet being highlights for me, but they are. I adore them with all my heart :crai:

Only my second listen-through, but this album has a lot to unpack and there is no way I could rank any of these songs yet. But I love it.

 


Happy as the moonshine
