i’ve lowered my glass to the table, i’ve fashioned this smile from a dream
the stars overhead bear their meaning with the weight of the sky, or so it seems
speak to the voices imagined in stories you sing from afar
the tiniest voices resound from the murmur, the trace, and the scars
sometimes the thread comes bear
sometimes i look for me to find you there
this’ll be the last time–i’m gonna walk the straight line
this’ll be the last time–gonna be my last crime
this’ll be the last time–this’ll be the last time
but we’re gonna have a big time, we’re gonna have a big time
cast out this bad land with witness like smoke from a railroad in plume
stone crumbled soft ‘neath the bedside in colors the earth left to ruin
speak with a trace owed to tempests of grace so unkind, i don’t dare
your mind shows the power, the proof, that judgement’s a spectre, a prayer
the weight of your mind holds to capture
closing your eyes holds the key
imagine a world that’s living
imagine an air you can breathe
so i raise up my glass to the sky now
i’ve lowered the lights to a purr
i weep at the sight of your virtue
to ward off the demons for sure

This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time. isaiah_stuart
Irish singer-songwriter Oisin Leech's acoustic folk music is characterized by its muted beauty and intimate, solitary quality. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2024
A gorgeous journey through a kaleidoscopic array of sonic approaches melted together that feels old and new at the same time. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 5, 2024
Has anyone else noticed that the last few seconds of Abandoned Love are scrambled??? Even when you play it on Bandcamp, it's messed up. Great album, but needs fixed! Justa Lint
