Log
2025-08-31
i remember hearing somewhere years ago that this is one of those albums where it’s encouraged to play it with the track listing shuffled. and i definitely have, but sometimes it’s nice to play it straight too.
★ sweet tooth subway
★★★ ok yeah rusty mittens was formative on me… or at least, i aped it for something over a decade ago.
★ hublander
★★ sink lateral
★★ lis tail
★★ naku uinti has a nice groove
★ upside landslide
★ penguin offering peanuts has an interesting b-section
★★★ jump jet tiger!
★★ orange line
★ cascade peridot
★ concord low
★ coconut kotki
★ flore
★★ luminette. there’s always been something chime-y that i’ve loved about this album.
★ piña collateral
★ lopik
★★ anchor doll is subtly moving…
★★ pineapple castle
★ tiny blue elevator
★★ mandarin beach!
★★ cadiz. i feel like, the better my headphone setup gets, the more i’m able to hear. and i know that there’s a finite amount to what i can hear – i have the tracker files for the album somewhere on this computer so i could know for certain – but the production still feels dense enough that more details would pop up anyway.
★★★ credits. a fitting end to this journey… at least, unless you’re playing this on shuffle and it shows up as like track 5.
