Getting it now!

EDIT:
Folk has struck again!

A mellow and atmospheric album that could put you to sleep. If so, your slumber should be peaceful and making you dream of future ALC albums.

Ranked inbetween Mogwai's Les Revenants and Disclosure's Settle

ALC RANKING:

1=. Country Sleep
1=. The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
3. Som Sakrifis
4=. Southeastern
4=. Sub-Verses
6. Sing To The Moon
7. Other Life
8. Infestissumam
9=. The Future Is Cancelled
9=. Partygoing
11. A Brief Introduction To Unnatural Light (have not listened to)

Very sorry it took so long for me to get around to listening to this one.

I'm only a few songs in but digging the sunshiny southern indie rock vibe. This reminds me a bit of The Heart and The Heart. A solid addition to the ALC choices so far.

Dang great album choice. This guy reminds me of a Ryan Adams with slightly better pipes. In some songs, his voice reminds me of Rufus Wainwright some kinda remind me of the Head and the Heart. There are a few songs that I'm not that sold on, but I'm not sure they wont grow on me after more listens. There WILL be more listens.

Top Tracks : Ramona, Cherry Blossoms, Lost Springs


-My order of ALC Albums so far-

1. Southeastern
2. Partygoing
3. Country Sleep
4. A Brief Intro to Unnatural Light Years
5. Som Sakrifis
6. Other life
7. Sing to the Moon
8. Sub Verses
9. Devil Put the Dinosaurs Here
10. Future is Cancelled
11. Infestissumam

Also... This is a link to a Spotify playlist of all the ALC albums in chronological order (except Future is Cancelled).
I will continue to update it each week.

Spoitfy is typically my go-to source for music, it is free to use on your computer (with an email address). And I know musicians get a percentage of the subscriptions for "premium accounts."

Didn't listen to this one, haven't had a lot of extra time to get on BEA recently. I can't find the original ALC thread, but instead I'll be messaging members when the ALC thread is disappearing a bit (middle of the week basically).
