I've been re-obsessed with "Underwhelmed" and "500 Up" this year; when better to belatedly check out the album they're from? Confirms that if I'd been able to buy this at the same time as Twice Removed, it also would have had a chokehold on my teen years.

In one sense, the first of theirs that's really surprised me; I think I assumed it'd be more like the first two. Not a complaint, and my sense that all their LPs have a lot of unplumbed depths after one listen continues to deepen.

I knew this change in sound was coming; heck, reading about it back in 2013 is part of what convinced me I should get around to checking this band out. I was still a bit thrown off at first, but this one really grew on me as it went.

Gotta love an album where the "Interlude" is 7+ minutes, right? This is fantastic as her other two LPs I've played, even if I find all of their lengths challenging. Perverts might still be my favourite though.

I am never letting go of my copy of Oh You're So Silent Jens, but 80 minutes of song-length songs is a lot from anyone for me these days. There may well be some more gems in here, not sure how much time I'll spend digging though.

Really not sure how to describe this one (check out the stew of genre tags on Bandcamp, it's a start) but I did really enjoy it.
