I'm hoping to buy this local this weekend, and I'm trying to hold off on listening to it all until then (although I listened to the first two sides on Spotify and loved them).

Strongly considering not only buying a physical copy of the new record but designating it for heavy rotation to ring in life in a new house.

where does one start with smog? i've only listened to knock knock because pitchfork gave it a 10 or something and i didn't listen to anything in college if it wasn't blessed by pitchfork.

I would go with A River Ain't Too Much To Love, but then again, I am a bigger fan of and came to BC through his solo work, and I think that record sounds more like his post-Smog sound.

So I’ve made it through the first two sides. My early hot take is: Lovely domestic vibes that Callahan wears well, but the short song lengths really hinder my enjoyment. I miss the settling into a minimalist song for five minutes and letting his words slowly paint a picture. These 2-3 minute songs feel more like (beautiful) sketches.

Baby's Breath comes to mind.

Anyone else have more thoughts on this? I keep having this problem that's never before happened with a Callahan album: I'll put it on, it feels and sounds lovely, but I'll be damned if I can remember a bit of it once it's over. I'll recall little phrases here and there, but whole songs sort of drift in and out of my awareness to the point that nothing really sticks.

this summed it up pretty good for me too: viewtopic.php?p=1363191#p1363191 i've only listened once or twice so far to the whole thing though.
