This album probably had one of the biggest influences on my own songwriting. It also came out on my birthday during a rough year and really helped me sit down and just feel everything. I make sure to only listen to the whole album at a time, but the opening track rules on its own as well. An honorable mention goes to "Chimera" by Asunojokei, another blackgaze band from Japan.

This album is seriously incredible. One of those albums that keeps me coming back for more and more and I seem to not get tired of it when I revisit. Some truly beautiful and also brutal and depressive moments on here that have only gotten better with time.

This is it. This is THE Deafheaven album. Everything has led to this, and everything will flow from this. I can feel my soul listening to it, and it is happy and nourished.
They were not fucking around when they said "if you liked black brick you're gonna love the next album"

Good at Falling and In the End It Always Does have quickly become comfort albums for me.
The Japanese House’s music simultaneously makes me extremely hopeful and extremely existential. The perfect amount of sad to be, in my opinion. I can dance and cry at the same time which is my ideal dance party scenario.
Amber’s lyrics are incredibly intelligent and I find myself wondering how she comes up with it all. Every listen to each song is like the the first time I’ve heard it. I can’t get enough!!!
My favorite song by them is Follow My Girl, I listen to it like 5 times a day at least.
