Discovered this last year and it's quickly become one of my favorite country rock albums. Has the feel of a country album but with influences from baroque pop and psychedelia that make it feel really unique. I listened to a few more of Clark's records and this is the only one that's this lush, so if anyone has recs for albums that sound like this I'd love to hear them!

It’s genius. There isn’t a dull moment here, but in particular all eight minutes of ‘Some Misunderstanding’ - with its massive, overblown, snowballing earnestness and forthright sense of soul, nodding to contemporary folk rock, country balladry, and gospel, replete with reverb-drenched, acid-fried guitar solo and swelling string section, coming on like the best song The Band never wrote - and its achingly wise refrain (“we all need a fix at a time like this, but doesn’t it feel good to stay alive?”) must rank among the very best in English-language popular music. (Its influence on Father John Misty is particularly easy to spot, but there’s a clarity of vision and a level of emotional integrity here that Tillman has never quite been able to grasp.) That said, it’s unfair to pick out a single song here, given how consistent in tone and quality this entire album is. Listening to this record feels like a conversation with an old friend, full of comfortingly familiar beats but still able to pleasantly surprise after all that time.
