Interesting acoustic track - final version was mentioned to be rougher, scuffed-up and will probably have reverb. Would assume it's Karl, but hard to tell - the little bit of face briefly in top corner doesn't seem right.

European release is 11.15. That sucks.

Whoa, wait. Physical or digital too?

Finished this last night. Says enough to unlock a new view on a deep catalog, but holds back enough to not be a tell-all. the contrast between the struggle to land somewhere meaningful, and the diary of someone who has landed (more or less) is lovely. Really glad I went in on this in the days before release.

The physical formats, unfortunately. The digital is still tomorrow though.

I've given it a very brief skim but I think I'm actually gonna wait till tomorrow still, build the anticipation

Honest first reaction at 530am after seeing the email…. What did I just listen to?

We obviously know the tracks already released; I love Black Poppies and Denver Luna, and Colour Red is decent. However I’d have a very hard time listening to King of Haarlem or Ottavia again. Theyre conceptual for sure, but I found myself wanting them to be over. The first half of Lewis in particular… I was actually off put by the screaming. But loved the drums that kicked in. I’m so torn.

Gene Pool was lovely. Techno Shink was decent. Stick Man Test is beautiful. I’m coming around to Hilo, but something about Karl’s tone feels off a bit. Growing on me tho.

And I’m sure I’ll eat my words after a dozen listens. As usual :P
