my favorite thing about this album is that it feels like you're listening to a cassette or an album on vinyl. the way the beat kind of warps in "jealous of roses" reminds me of the way a record kind of skips while being played. all the beats in the songs are memorable. i imagine that if i lived somewhere in new york during the summer like 20 years ago, this would be the sounds of the street. "fire ant" has a sort of summertime, old school hip-hop vibe which i'm obsessed with. (obv) "ambivalence avenue" is the perfect song to ride your bike to--riding through forsyth on a sunny afternoon, ugh, i wish i was doing that right now! "lover's carvings" is a great driving song. I like the use of the gock block (could go along with the your car's clicker). Along with succesful beats/rhythms, his voice isn't over powering or too in your face. It's almost filtered like you're looking at your day through sunglasses.
