It's been in heavy rotation around here. Agreed that it feels like a return
of Plaid to true form - what always pulled me in to the music was melody
and arrangement. I read somewhere (Pitchfork review?) that it was repeat
ideas but maybe it's also because I'm more about subtle refinement over
time, not the Music Is Rotted type public experiments. Also, I'm not going
to expect Plaid to do the dark an heavy really well. Stuff like Held or
Melifer is what I go to Plaid for, it's got polish and finesse. But I'm
just a guy sitting in his basement in the midwest. No idea if I make sense
but that's my take.
