first listen of the new Richard Buckner, Surrounded - on Spotify for now so the sound is just off my computer and thru Sennheiser HD 25-1 ii headphones. I admit I wasn't a big fan of Our Blood. A little lifeless and just found myself turning it off or spacing out half way through. This new one feels a lot more lively - instrumentally and production-wise...I know better than to look for lively and upbeat from Buckner lyrically and song-wise. Will probably pick up this one on vinyl and see what Tucker Martine did for the production...I'm guessing it's a good thing. Hopefully will catch him on a supporting tour too.
