It doesn’t all hit, but enough does that I always give it a try.

I feel I never really get into an album until the next one is announced.

I need more. Go get it.

Also, international shipping prices suck.

They have a new album out, go get it.

Not to say Demons is fake in anyway, it just that it hits so many of my zones so perfectly its hard to imagine it wasn’t made with me in mind.

Anyway, this rips and the digital version is free. Go get it.

Initially Aethiopes didn’t really grab me, I think I never gave it a fair listen. But I was very into Church when it came out, enough so that I went back and gave Aethiopes another chance. Man, did I make a mistake.

Aethiopes (and Church) is one of my favorite albums of 2022.
