I can’t tell you just how much this album changed the way I thought about things. As a 15 year old who was starting to realise that things i was experiencing weren’t just normal, i desperately needed an outlet and this album was the first step in that. I would walk around my school listening to this album on repeat, writing the lyrics on the inside of my work books, drawing the elephant on anything I could.
The music just didn’t sound like anything that had been done before. It was like the sounds were conjured up by a forest losing its leaves in autumn, bare and stripped back to the point of rugged danger. I didnt quite get it on first listen, it was like i wasn’t supposed to listen to it, it was too intimate and lonely. When I properly got acquainted with it, it carried me through mental health diagnoses, tough academic years and many a tough breakup.
Love you Phil <3

Never went deep on microphones or mount eerie but now I am going deep. Listened to the glow pt.2 for the first time and it paralyzed me. Sat on my bed with noise cancelling headphones on and just sat still and listened. Musical paralysis, incredible stuff. This has also reignited my LOVE for Dear Nora, and why not throw some beat happening in there for a PNW triple threat.

This album really changed my life when I heard it. It was at the exact right point in my life where I wanted to romanticize being sad and lonely and I wanted to Yearn!
Musically, this album has impacted me more than I realized. I was going through some old song ideas on my computer today and nearly all of them had blips and clicks panned hard left and right along with guitar and nursery rhyme melodies.
A very special record to me that I encourage you to revisit or check out for the first time love you so much seriously my page is the best I love my fans!!!

you can be a vibe if you want to! wear those oversized jeans you don’t know if you suit! light your cigs with a box of matches! play chess in a field with your friend! every time you do something like that and you don’t give a fuck, you get a little bit closer to having the best vibe out there

like cooking, it’s about seeing those enjoy what you play them than the process itself!
