David Pajo (Slint, Tortoise, Zwan, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc.) is always out there looking for something, like a fisherman's boat navigating in the dark. Normally he just fish for its own consumption, but sometimes he get a piece big enough to sell it to others. In this case it's the 9th song of the album: 'Let It Be Me'.
Warpaint at the peak of their game. Good songs, amazing sound and exuberant performing. More dream pop than post-punk, more Grouper than Savages, more delicate without giving up the energy.
I still have mixed feelings about this record. I am sure it's great, and it sounds great and she's great, but I still don't know if I will love it in 2025. If that's the case, I will come back and edit this review.
30% weird + 20% safe place + 50% amazing songs. This record contains songs that will pass the test of time, like 'Royal Morning Blue'. It's always the same with Damon: you don't know what his next move will be, but it's going to be interesting.
There's nothing more pleasant in music than a good record with a good cover. It can happen differently: a bad record with a great cover and a great record with an awful cover, but when both words collide, it feels really good.
