Last year's Scaring the Hoes had its moments, but an overly online vernacular and ropey finish stopped it from staying amongst my favourites of 2023 – not to mention his fawning over Kanye earlier this year when offered a production gig signaled his previously stringent antifascism didn't extent to his musical idols (and no doubt a hefty chunk of change). I Lay Down My Life for You came as a real surprise then; I think this is the first time since 2019's All My Heroes… that his sampling has sounded truly joyful (even if "Sin Miedo" totally rips off that one "Heads Will Roll" remix). Even more of a surprise comes in the form of "Either on or off the Drugs" and "I Recovered From This", where Peggy is, against all odds, sincerely vulnerable.

Very often the group has given even the most beautiful melodies a twist or edge which contrasts the ugly and the beautiful. This tendency, or intention, is also very evident in this, the group's fourth album. The group mixes genres in new and challenging ways, and while some passages may be an ordeal for many to give ear to, other pieces of the same track can be melodic beauty and sheer pleasure. On this album, my two biggest favorites both have these extremes. The opening track "Formentary Lady" has a nice, slightly gloomy intro, played on cello and it builds up very classically inspired. The actual song is melodic, and you easily find yourself humming lines from the delicate and catchy melody. The song gradually develops towards the more discordant, and towards the end the saxophone play notes that may behard to grasp. Although many probably would feel it an assault on the track, I have chosen to make my own edited version - down to about five minutes; then my family wil also be able to be nearby when the track is playing. The same thing could be done to "Ladies on the Road" which is my absolute favorite. Like "Formentary Lady" the song takes a similar turn towards the end. Still "Ladies on the Road" has everything you could ask for: a bluesy half-acoustic intro, great electric "Come Together" verses, and a beautiful chorus, which reminds me a lot of Pretty Things' "Parachute" album. The saxophone takes over towards the end, and "ruins" some of the song's beauty - some would feel There are two instrumental, with the "Sailor's Life" as the most exciting, but also the most challenging for the listener. Again experiments on saxophone and later the electric guitar playing notes I have never heard other places. "Prelude: Song of the Sea" is a very quiet classical number, which could very easily be overlooked. Nice but not really memorable The title track is another quiet number which is really very nice, but which perhaps lacks a real memorable melody. "The Letters" has good element but the song does not really hit me. "  [+]  Reply

I mean, These New Puritans use just about every instrument you can imagine, this album is almost like a minimalistic symphony of sorts. TNP keep kind of reinventing themselves over each album. This is their third, their first album since 2010’s “Hidden". It’s definitely interesting, the composition and everything. There are moments where the album gets a bit slow, but there are also some moments that are just beautiful. The organ in “Organ Eternal", for example, is beautifully done. It’s a pretty good album, it’ll definitely keep you intrigued for the most part."  [+]  Reply

After it popularized jazz, traditional "white" American music became increasingly blended with African American music with every passing decade. But it wasn't just an important event, it was also a breathtaking concert. With Benny Goodman's (mostly white) band serving as the jazz equivalent of Elvis, this recording grabs you from the first phrase and never lets up until the concert is over. His accomplishment is vastly underappreciated in a rock/pop/hip-hop culture that seems to think that music began in the mid-50s. If you're looking to develop an appreciation for jazz/swing music, this is a great place to start -- after all, this is where much of America started back in the 1930s. "  [+]  Reply

It's not perfect ('He Always Felt Like Dancing' is a little irritating, and the relentless click-track percussion of that song is sort of jarring when set against the rest of the album, but the way the melody slowly unfolds and reveals itself at the same languid, measured pace as the story is still damn impressive), and at 70-odd minutes it is a bit of a chore, but damn if it isn't shockingly consistent throughout, musically and especially lyrically. I've never really been the biggest fan of the indietronica/folktronica/whatever thing, but here the sparse bleeps and twinkling keys and dry percussion really work as the perfect foil for Kozelek's amazing storytelling. Opener 'What Happened to My Brother' is as affecting on a base emotional level as any Red House Painters song, '1936' got some shit from Pitchfork for being rather light but I think it's incredible how much depth he manages to imbue in such a simple ditty, 'You Missed My Heart' is a stunning change of pace and a real show of what Kozelek is capable even when not spinning some slowly unfurling yarn but rather concentrating on writing a more (relatively) conventional pop song, in fact pretty much every song here is just really tastefully done and completely beautiful. And I'll be damned if 'Gustavo' isn't one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. I know he's been accused of being somewhat self-indulgent lyrically, and there is a lot of first-person elaboration, but he's such a wise, honest voice at this stage that I actually feel blessed to have had the chance to hear these words. Just go and listen to this album."  [+]  Reply
