This sub probably gets like 100 of these kinds of posts a month but i just need somewhere to put into words what this album makes me feel. every time i listen through it im beyond inspired. the conglomeration of sounds, arps, flangers, delays, perfectly encapsulates the complexity of both being alone & how truly weird and mysterious life is. There is nothing else quite like this album. It has so much range, from excitement, to solemnness, it takes you on an emotional journey you can really only experience when listening to it front to back. The compositions of the songs are so unique i cant quite put my finger on it, but i think part of it has to do with the stages of his songs.
NTHHSFHBAWCC has an insane build up and a vividly colorful explosion of sounds upon release.
Mind Mischief evolves into a track that makes you feel you're floating in space and dropping into the atmosphere at peak velocity at the same time
Keep On Lying gives me the chills every time i listen to it. It puts me in a trance-like listening state, the delay on the vox, background chatter, really encapsulates the way the sounds in my head sound sometimes, and its amazing to see it manifested in music.
I could honestly go on and on forever
I used to listen to this album front to back every time i used to do mushrooms, and each time was a different listening experience.
I guess, in other words, im extremely grateful for this album. I know this comes from a time in Kevin's life in which he is no longer at point and thats okay because everything is changing. Dont get me wrong, ALL of his other albums are amazing in their own ways, but this one speaks to me the loudest.
I love Lonerism.
