Fuengi

I'll be interested in first takes on this. I can't really remember what my initial reaction was but I think I caught a couple of hooks and kept going back. The album then became almost imbued in me. 

Jonathangus

What's on?

Is this Scotland looking like bastards if they beat Ukraine and looking like numpties if they don't? 

The very dab, as we say up here.

Fuengi

So, Jason Molina's style to me sometimes sounds like a coordinated song and at other times random chants or musings.

When was this released?

Jonathangus

Shades of Pearl Jam?  (Who were influenced by Neil Young.)

Fuengi

There are recurring themes in his lyrics, baseball, moons, wolves and ghosts spring to mind.

I've Been Riding With The Ghost now.

So far, so good.

Sorry, listening more than typing!
