Well, DAMN. I should've known a band with Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus would destroy me... but DAMN. This is such an amazing album. UM I WANT MORE PLEASE?? Anyways, True Blue, Not Strong Enough, Leonard Cohen, We're In Love, and Letter To An Old Poet are all genuinely perfect songs. They don't follow typical songwriting structure, but they don't even have to! I really love the (as they said) mellow song style that is just like PEAK autumn sad girl vibes. I don't even always love alternative, but this is great. I don't love the opening track, Without You Without Them (but it feels more like an opening than an actual song), I don't love $20, and I don't love Satanist, but other than that the album is really great to me. 9/12 is a pretty strong album. I love the way that they write about poetry in their poetry. I love the way that they write about love. I love the way they write about depression. I just love the way they write about everything. It's like they see the world through a different lens and can just capture it so well. Instead of rose colored glasses (for love) it's like they have blue colored glasses to see the world through this really deep, melancholy lens. If you don't like being sad you won't like this, but I adore it, obviously. So glad to have discovered it just in time for fall ;)
