It’s always changing, but Sgt. Peppers is the one I come back to the most. Such a cohesive unit played on that album. Also, A Day In The Life is possibly the best closing track on any album, ever.

Here’s Geologist telling how some of those transition sounds were made.
“…While mixing Centipede Hz, we were killing time at the studio by playing around with some synthesizer apps we just found, and it turned into a pretty long drone jam. I got hungry and wanted to tell the other guys we should get lunch, but I didn’t want to kill the vibe so while we were playing I quickly looked for a robot voice app that I could program to say ‘Who wants lunch?’ and started looping it until the other guys realized what it was saying. We ate shortly after, and later went on to use the same voice on the album and in the videos we’ve been releasing on our website.”

Wow, Wide Eyed into Father Time was one helluva transition. More please.

Listening to this mix, I feel like I’m at a musical festival waiting for the headliner to come on. Feels magical y’all.

I feel like I’m the only one who thought, “Wow…she’s pretty strong.”

Saw them open for St. Vincent in Pittsburgh. Meiberg can belt it. Like, really, REALLY belt it. Worth seeing them just for that.

When listening to a sophomore album’s first track makes you stop everything, then immediately go listen to their first album, I think that’s a good sign. *cues up Intro…*

My first thought was where’s the Birdman, so I was glad to see him mentioned in the comments. Still a good list, but I expect the second half of the year dominate.

Thank you! Danse Carribe is probably one of his best songs. Also, I agree with your statement about the year so far. Pretty underwhelming.
