Hints of The Band.

Something of an old school R&B outro.

by Nightjar Sun Aug 08, 2021 7:40 pm

What a corking good tune.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Aug 08, 2021 7:41 pm

Very high-pitched vocals.

by Nightjar Sun Aug 08, 2021 7:41 pm

Stripped back, but really wry and sophisticated.

Basically it's box

Good Ghod Damn!

I'm loving this.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Aug 08, 2021 7:45 pm

It is over.

That was much better than the other albums we've done by them. Unless those other albums were by Parliament, in which case it was better than the albums we've done by Parliament. Its main strength was that the tracks didn't go on for longer than they needed to.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 4 stars.

by Nightjar Sun Aug 08, 2021 7:48 pm

Well, y'know...

Well, you know. Colbert

That was awesome.

It's a shame that there was a 'classic' Nu-HotW b*lls up re: simultaneity of listeningnesses - and it's also a shame that old 'Wotisname' wasn't here to co-comment as I'm as certain as I can be that he likes this album tonnes.

Anyway, the album is only about 37 minutes long and it does have a weird Dungeons & Dragons concept track of over 6 minutes in there and thus its packed full of truly tasteful/tasty fondant bangers chock full of wit and weirdness and rocky-funkiness like pale folks just can't do.

So...
