RE: A PLUSH JOURNEY ON FACING MOUNTAINS' "SEASON'S END"
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
You've definitely drew my attention to check the album (didn't do it yet, but already bookmarked at Spotify)...
The first track you've shared is for me ok-ish... but you statement...
Slikker is at his strongest when he abandons the folk, forgets the pop, and goes for feeling.
...is what drew my interest, while the second track you shared, the gem of the album, gives me goosebumps.
Thanks for you review!

You're welcome @edje. An album is, of course, always best played in its entirety to get what the creator is after. But ... who listens to entire albums these days, I do, but in these consumer times, we mostly go with playlists. Cheers!
Agree, many create their playlist, but I'm old school. Though I use the modern services, have a premium subscription with spotify, I think I only created one or two playlists just to try creating them, but never 'run' them. I mark albums, and when I like one, they stay in my favourites. When I listen music using these streaming services, I play the albums. Next to that I listen to set recordings, and live registrations, which in itself is kinda like an album.
Not sure if it is consumarism that drives people to listen to songs, not albums. I think its the more or less the mass not really listening to the music, but just wan't to hear music. I suppose they are not interested in listening songs and tracks in its complete arrangement which an album is.
That said, I've heard many albums in my life that seems to be a bit of everything, without any harmony in it, kinda like how people tend to make playlist these days.
