Best psychedelic folk album of the year
Best debut album of the year
Best UK album of the year
"Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?"
I have loved this album for a long, long, time now. His decent into madness from the catalyst of LSD fully on display on this album and is both fascinating and incredibly sad at the same time. There is still so much talent on display here with the melodicism, vocals, and personal lyrics that are revealing both on the surface level and sometimes on a more ambiguous deeper level. The pain and aching on Dark Globe was the realest thing I had heard musically at the time, and it still hurts to hear it now.
10/10 songs: Dark Globe, Octopus, Terrapin, No Good Trying. [First added to this chart: 08/16/2017]
