I guess I’m kind of behind the curve on this one, as Pitchfork just reviewed their album (with a dandy score in the sevens!), but Brooklyn’s Landlady deserves even more love. With free-flowing energy that has been severely lacking in so much of everything these days and a somehow tender abrasiveness, Landlady packs a much-needed punch. The orchestral arrangements typically culminate in full crescendos toward the second half of songs, which always leaves me wanting more.
It is straight tough to get a score in the sevens on Pitchfork. I can see why they like it. Love the percussion on Landlady and both tracks feel spacey in my favorite sort of way. – Brandon
