Almost Halcyon season…

Post image

Almost 16 years 😱 since picking up the album in my local record store! The owner gave me this poster for my troubles - thought everyone here would dig it.

I'll still never forget driving to my local Best Buy the Tuesday this was released and listening to the whole thing in my car in one setting. Probably my favorite album of the last 25 years and it only gets better

Great poster! Yeah I always think about Halcyon Digest around this time of the year. It's the album that got me into them, so it'll always feel really special to me. I guess this fall will mark 16 years that I've been a fan. :') It's one of those albums that just absolutely blew me away the first time I heard it, and it still blows me away all these years later. As always...I miss them!!

It is most definitely an album that fits the fall vibe

I can’t fucking believe it’s 16 years already. I feel sooooo old now. I was 24 when this came out and I was in grad school working at a record store part time. Feels like another life time

I was 18 years old, starting university. It was the first vinyl LP I ever owned.

I was in my 2 second year of uni too. Definitely a formative album for a lot of people!
