Magnus easy standout in 2022 for my listening. incredible pacing throughout, not a single track feels out of place. Favorite track: time alone.

devy One of my fav albums of the year. Was yelling at my speakers in excitement/admiration/jealousy for 37 mins and 20 seconds straight.

imdkm great as always. probably the greatest one imo. Favorite track: waitin 4 u.

used to wonder what you’re all about pick in hand, a bowl, a crate you found we knew nothing but we talked so loud bleeding fingers for a sober crowd picking noses laying on the ground knowing somehow we were brothers now i’ve been foggy for a minute now when i’m sprawlin out you’re shrinkin down all our birthdays kinda scare me now/wow mmm we’ve got a lot to figure out & you’re rolling with a different crowd kick & snare became a distant sound i know i hope i know you’re a better friend than foe take your shoes off at the door & make yourself at home i’ve been falling out you’ve been watching clouds you’ve been calling out i’ve been on the ground i’ve been falling out you’ve been falling out i’ve been falling out you’ve been falling out

i know a rose is a rose is a rose but it preys on my mind all the time yep we used to lay down on astro and you would take the piss out of me while we stared at the sky cause we’ve both spun the pride enough to mistake a brother’s sighs for no you win at everything I won’t get gold, in a robe, yeah climb the throne, i never climb anything but cold spires growin in my mind don’t mind me I hold it inside i sugar coat but I know that you know that I’ve got praise on my mind all the time if I could unpack my stature then maybe you’d see the Usain in me bolted tight to your side cause we’ve both been disguised enough yep to mistake each other’s eyes for moats you get everything that I wanttttt get gold, and a robe, climb the throne, i never climb anything but cold spires growin in my mind don’t mind me cause you don’t hurt me in my memory no no no you’re not so much my enemy more of a frenemy don’t mind me I’ll hold it inside bolted right there to your side i love you man until I die

Guy Fawkes in a blindfold Catdog on a tightrope when you hide, I hesitate when you walk I feel estranged i wanna know what your truth is when you’re so far away I can’t see through ya cause you won’t say, no say, don’t say yo no sé yo no sé pick locks to a show home flick rocks at your window when I talk you ricochet when I knock you dissipate i wanna know what your truth is when you’re so far away I can’t see through ya cause you won’t say, no you no say highwire when you talk there’s not a sound can’t find ya no you’re nowhere to be found highwire oh where’s the line you’re toeing now i hang tight but I’m hand in hair til you’re on the ground

Oh I know it’s so petty I know But you chew so loud I hope you choke Oh I know it sounds petty I know I’m lettin it go And I know it’s just Cities and roads But I never see you so damn cold Wanna finish the game, man Where did you go? Break a plate and say you’re sorry It’s still pieces on the floor There’s pictures of everything But what you really see in me I thought I caught you dancing But you were shifting in your seat If you want bangers then Here take the stupid aux You’ve all got tattoos but I’m too scared to draw forever Spose i could let you write your name On my hand if you’ve got a pen I’ve got a pen You always say you’re an imposter So we’ll be posers together Faking sonnets, reading comics, walking home

We trade our blows Over and over again We blow our nose Over and over again We share our clothes Over and over again We close no doors I hear you snorin We share our lows Over and over again We load our rows Over and over again We know we’ve grown Over and over again We grow our rose I feel you smilin

If you wanna go, it’s safe. Don’t hold on too tight Yea I just wanna go away Gimme a little time If you wanna fly, it’s safe Don’t hold on too tight. Yeah I just wanna go away, Gonna need a little time. It’s hard to keep a face A hidden pain Hidden nos A little fall out I told ya, but you didn’t hear me It comes around They see all the world Though gilded eyes, white lies, A chosen fam, who doesn’t understand And it never lands The signs are hard to tell I feel a sting, let it go Another moat in the wind In the wind I miss the way it was Before it was a chore, A closed door To everything you’ll never Know I know I no o no I no I no I no So if you wanna go, it’s safe. Don’t hold on too tight Yea I just wanna go away Gimme a little time If you wanna fly, it’s safe Don’t hold on too tight. Yeah I just wanna go away, Gonna need a little time. Break a plate and say sorry It’s still on the floor If I called you family Would you call me your

I’m not slowin down But i can wait til you’re here Keep runnin Sand will shift away In time we’ll both be under the waves Butt naked Man I’ve made mistakes We still don’t move the same way (said things i can’t unsay) Sun is going down And I wanna see you see me See you see me See you see me See you see me See you see me See you see me See you Waitin for you

Cement Packed honk pulling up Eye bags from the jump Gourd burn on the tongue on day one That’s what’s up Sit down we got another record to go Another huddle in a couple hundred miles or so Cocoon goo to skidoo we didn’t Do it for you, We’re not washing the feet of the conde Naste regime dude Feed the beat, meet & greet Pajama party in the hot seat Pickin up the tempo We’re locked Kickin up the dust tho We rock Takin both my hands off No hands Thinkin with the smooth brain No thoughts Lock’s peekin out Party box with the tunes Yea we reelin in the years like Yacht rock with the juice Garbage cup stacked high Take a ride on a dinosaur for 300 miles o Pickin up the tempo We’re locked Kickin up the dust tho We rock Takin both my hands off No hands Thinkin with the smooth brain No thoughts Guys i gotta go But i gotta go I went and called my man And tell me about his plans Turns out he’s hangin out with another friend so i’ll see him next week oo I’ve had to go for a while Can we stop in a mile? We haven’t stopped in a while And i gotta go Bootsonblatson I get it I get it I get it I get it I’m widdit I’m widdit I’m widdit I’m widdit Pickin up the tempo We’re locked Kickin up the dust tho We rock Takin both my hands off No hands Thinkin with the smooth brain No thoughts Your sister ain’t shit Your uncle ain’t shit Your brother ain’t shit Your brother ain’t shit Your sister ain’t shit Your uncle ain’t shit Your brother ain’t shit Your brother ain’t shit But you know who’s the shit? My friend My guy My dude My friend My guy My friend My guy Forgivin, forgiven, forgettin it all Forgivin, forgiven, forgettin it all away

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
