random list of moments from this album that i love:

• when kintsugi starts playing and you hear that initial “there’s a certain point, the booooody can’t come back from…..” chills every single time

• the sheer chaos of the interludes

• the outro of grandfather

• when candy necklace’s tempo picks up in its second chorus and goes a little jazzy

• the added vocals during “down in florence alabaaaaaama” in paris texas

• the bass intro of peppers !! so cool

• additionally in peppers, when it breaks down into a surf rock style for like 10 seconds!!! soooooooo rad

• “skippin rope in the bayou / slip softly into rain” from fishtail, just such a gorgeous lyric - oh and “wearing nothing but the summer bruises on my knees” UGH gorgeous

• the random swooshing noise in fingertips that i assume is meant to obscure the word “mother”

 

honestly, i just love this record so much :defeated:

I love the whistle in Kintsugi, reminds me of Lemony Snicket and his brother in the netflix adaptation of ASOUE

I strongly disliked the sparkle sound effect in Fingertips the first 100 times I heard it, but for some reason listening to the song last night the sparkle kind of clicked and almost made me cry. It makes it seem like her mother is some Disney-esque villain that can't even be spoken about by the princess because the thought it just too scary, the pain too real. It's like some fairy godmother is taking the word out of the song to protect her :cryney2:

I still hate the effect but I can accept it now after this thought process :true:

Love this ranking! Pretty similar to mine, especially the bottom slate.

What about your thoughts on the rest of the tracks she dropped this year? Hollywood Bowl?
