Loved it. The second verse of Quarrel was just :wow:

To whom much is given
Much is required
Luxurious liver
You never inquire
It ain't right, you see
Who is your family?
If I don't have tools to fight
Calling this a quarrel isn't right
Quoting this a quarrel
So immorally implies
We're equal opponents
And we both antagonize

Damn. I loved Indulge Me, Make Out In My Car, Lonely World, Don't Bother Calling and Plastic too. Enjoyed the rest of the album. Its clearly not an album for everyone, my girlfriend didn't care for it and it's just a mission to get people to listen to it but oh well. It's their loss.

Yeah, album is definitely not for everyone but for those who can appreciate it, it’s really dope. Quarrel is musical bliss. One of my favorite songs on the album.. I love the other songs that you have mentioned as well. I listen to “Make Out In My Car” like everyday. Lol...Lonely World is another favorite as well. I love the whole album from start to finish. :wub:

What artist is he similar too?

Like, what genre is this? I've got a lot to catch up on but I'm willing to give this a shot.

He kinda reminds me of Bjork, Fiona Apple, Solange, Nick Hakim, Sufjan Stevens a bit...

I would describe his music as folk, alternative, experimental, a little soulful, with a bit of indie pop elements.

Sounds like a mix of things I’m not up on.

I’m in :russ:

I’ll post my thoughts when I get to it.

Frankly I like his previous works better. This is a little soupy for me but I love some tracks of this. He’s unique and I enjoy that a black man is being acknowledged for taking such high artistic risks.

I respect your opinion, but I think this album is awesome. It ain’t for everyone, obviously, but I love how much of a breath of fresh air it is in comparison to most of the music out there.

It is a breath of fresh air. I wish he’d gone even farther into the strange recesses of his art tho. I want to get my mind blown. Sumney’s definitely onto something. It is is nice in comparison to the slop that has become popular “black” music. I enjoy Sumney’s work

I wish this album had a full length film attached to it. The music is very atmospheric and kinda cinematic.
