It took me far too long to buy this album, but then it went on sale! So here we are. Many of my favorite tracks off of this album were released before, but three new ones stand out: "Coyote", "(I Am) The Love Addict", and "End It Now!"
I've heard them all in concert plenty, and Coyote was on the KEXP Song of the Day podcast many moons ago. They're all fantastic examples of the sound that the Lonely Forest has become, far away from the aesthetic of 2007's Nuclear Winter. When that album came out, they were playing to ten people at the Vera Project. After this one launched, they played to a packed house at KeyArena. So, take from that what you will.
If you like anything the Lonely Forest has released in the last two years (We Sing The Body Electric or EP, mainly), or if you've just heard one or two songs and are intrigued, this album is well worth picking up. You'll love half the songs and absolutely love the other half. Go get it.
A side note! I just remembered that I also got another new album, recently: Strange Negotiations, by David Bazan. I'm going to try and get one or two more reviews out today and the next two out within the week.
