Ok I'll play, I suggest this for a reflective moment on the disc. Vocally it reminds me of Nick Drake and the song structure and spooky crescendo sounds remind me of Mercury Rev. I'm not familiar with his other output but liking this album a lot.

Really nice to see you stop by Mike, we've each discovered so much great music over the years via each other, I feel like I know you better than I really do.

The mention of Mercury Rev really hits a sweet spot, I've been so hung up on Deserter's Songs lately, just love it, always have, always will, but it seems so in tune right now.

That new and upcoming CocoRosie Heartache City I mentioned above did turn out really nice, very stripped back compared to GrassWidow, more like their debut in that regard except very nicely recorded, more about the voices and the words. No fancy layered production, no synths, not sure if they play everything but I think it's mainly just the two of them this time, some piano, some drum machine, a bunch great sounding instruments and toys sparsely mixed about, and some butterflies. DR 11 on the digital too. Only a few listens in, but already looking forward to the next listen. Yea, really nice. Lots of favorite moments already, but around 2 minutes into "Lost Girls", after the first listen you know what's gonna happen, but it still makes me break out in a big grin, you feel it coming, gradually building, and then that chorus. Just about perfect.



Anyway, just wanted to say, this one kind of bridges the multiple sides of CocoRosie, and really nice record (and looking forward to the vinyl record, though like I said, this digital download sounds great).

close your eyes and you can fly
