threw this one on after i heard the news of steve albini’s passing, may he rest in peace
what a stacked personnel list on here too: joanna newsom at the center (naturally), steve on recording/engineering, jim o’rourke production, van dyke parks string arrangements!!! just all over perfect
FAV TRACKS: all of them, but only skin is particularly foundational for me

i made a playlist of some heavy hitters. sometimes you can just tell an artist covers a song and you know that it's because, in a different universe, they would have written it themselves. sometimes they take a bad/mediocre song and you realize that it pretty was good all along. sometimes someone will sing a song and you can hear the reverence in their voice and it makes you love the music with them. its incredible really. i like the idea of sharing in the act of creation like that. favs on the playlist are stevie wonder, lianne la havas and michael cera palin

also see ‘cruel’ on the same album…save me
