About a week later and the album has really grown on me. Enjoying it almost daily. Didn't really like Ocean Feeling at first, but now I think it's... yeah boppy :party:

fallen fruit is a nice song but there's this faint microwave beeping noise at the end of the track that made me anxious

also dominoes is nice too but the police siren EVER so faintly in the beginning is......... anxiety inducing as well lmfao

 

i don't appreciate these real world noises when i'm blasting them in my car. i keep forgetting dominoes has the police siren and i be driving,, looking in my rearview wondering where the fucking lights are gonna be coming from and if i have to get over!!!! dislike it emphatically when artists put sirens in songs lmfao. it just is ugly. don't do it.

 

other than that i'm really having a great time with this album!

Here is a link to all streaming services where you can stream my new single, "The Prophecy" :party:

and "It would be super cool if you listened to it. It may surprise you with how not-bad it is.  It's actually pretty good" - a genuinely unbiased and actual casual pop music listener

Yeah there's always weird fucking noises when Jack Antonoff is involved and you just have to try to ignore them tbh. I can hear weird and imo unnecessary shit in almost every song and I'm blaming Jack because NFR was like that, too

Like 2:21 in The Path. The fuck is that? A coyote?


ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream

Might be reading too much into it but my theory is the electronic presence on Fallen Fruit is symbolic of industrialisation's stain on the planet. It would be in line with the lyrics; the beeping being an intentionally strange and unsettling (all Jack criticism considered, I still don't think him and Ella could sit in the studio and think 'wow this is such a lovely sound!') technological noise that unsettles listeners in the same way the 'ones who came before us' unsettled the Earth. Also I can't remember where but she made a point of the fact that the synth right before 'From the Nissan to the Phantom to the plane' was one of two synths on the record, which makes sense as well because she goes on to mention these machines which have contributed to polluting the planet. And I don't think it's a mistake that the strange synths appear on the most acoustic-y folksy song on the album!

 

But yeah even if that is what the sounds represent, they still don't necessarily sound good lol, kind of like those comedy films that are intentionally/ironically bad but that doesn't make them enjoyable and they are... still bad. I personally don't mind/like the sounds but I can understand why you wouldn't


nice cocc bro

I tried to listen to the album multiple times, but… it never worked for me. I really don’t like it. The worst thing is this odd feeling of subtle presumption all over the place… and boredom too. I’m sorry, and I hope that the next project will take a different path!

The more I listen to Oceanic Feeling, the more I feel blown away by it.

Truly a career highlight which will sadly get often overlooked, but I won't ever forget it, I'll post about in on LB once a week, post a fragment on my IG story nobody watches, even sing it to my cats in the future
