album listens #13 - the pilgrim, their god and the king of my decrepit mountain - tapir!

 

a beautiful, pastoral, idyllic but melancholy folk album. wow. i feel like i'm wandering around the countryside, along a coastal scene, teetering on the edge of a cliff facing the sea. its rough around the edges but therein lies the charm and personality of the album. i had never even heard of this band before and i'm so glad i stumbled across them. the vocals are understated and timid but so personal. real folk vibes mixed with the vintage drum machine and warm synth sounds make the album sound like you're listening to it on a tape player which i love. the chord progressions are beautiful and the arrangements are pretty, this is really such a sweet and quaint album that has had a lot of passion put into it. i feel so much love inside me after hearing this album.

FAVOURITE SONG: My God, Gymnopédie, Eidolon, Mountain Song

RATING: 9 /10 (edit: i've been listening to this album none stop and i've decided it's a 10)
