Still boggles me as to why the album art still isn't being shown.

I still think Pitchfork should have made a porno trilogy about indie folk starring Joanna Chewsum and Justin Spermon in a log cabin in Wisconsin to "make an album together". The first part would be "The Milk-Eyed Member", part II would be "Only Foreskin", and then it'd climax at "Do One On Me". It'd be great.
That's all I have to say about this album. It also has good songs. I like "Skinny Love', even though I don't roll that way.
EDIT: The porno could also have a fourth part called "Pliers", where Joanna tries to make a "brand" out of their new lifelong love for each other.

That would honestly be amazing.

Fantastic. Gorgeous. I actually think it's underrated- it's really a significant milestone of a release, not just a divisive indie album.

I've always seen this as a sort of cousin to "The Creek Drank The Cradle" by Iron And Wine. Both gorgeous albums.

Though I love this album, and though I love that it's the perfect skeletal example of what makes breakup records work, this just doesn't resonate with me the way it did when I was, say, 16 years old. The way I've moved on from that version of myself has included moving on from why I loved this album in the first place. And now I deal with these feelings so differently that I don't really revisit album much. Like I said, I still love it, and it'll always be one of the most important collections of songs I'll ever hear, yet it definitely has a very different place in my life now than it once did.
That being said, I wouldn't mind if "Re: Stacks" was played at my funeral. I mean, I'd be dead, but still.
Track picks
1. Flume
2. Lump Sum
3. Skinny Love
5. Blindsided
