Jessie, you should drive to Des Moines every day. That’s when I listen to music.
Love,

I know T(MR), I’m not proud of it, but it’s rare I can get through any full album without interruptions these days. We recently got the new St. Vincent album and I think I’ve started it 5 times now and have got through it zero times. Actually, I don’t know if I’ve been 3 songs deep yet.

I’ve never been able to get into AC. I do think “My Girls” is tolerable though :) Great review!

Another great review Josh. This album is so fantastic that Missy loves it. Her favorite song is “Summertime Clothes” so I have to give mad props to that tune. I wholeheartedly agree with you that anything pre-Sung Tongs is near unlistenable. I also feel that everytime I listen to Sung Tongs I feel that it actually gets worse b/c I compare it to Feels, Strawberry Jam & MPP. I also throw Panda Bear’s Person Pitch as another in the lineage of brilliant AC albums.
Jessie-just “My Girls”? C’mon!

I’m realizing I haven’t heard much of this album save “My Girls” – for shame, for shame. I’ll get on that.
