You know the vibe. Celine Dion. Twin Peaks.

Not showing up yet on Ecstatic Bandcamp.

Think that cover is from the 60s Romeo & Juliet film that caused 10 year old me to have weird feelings in my tummy when I saw it at school .... (and a very flustered looking teacher)

Hopefully it'll be on Bandcamp soon - unfortunately I've ran out of space for non-digital vinals

[fumi]

Yes, it is.

So good. In Every Dream Home A Heartache has become one of my favorite albums.

Hell yeah! The 1st one was awesome (think I ended up liking it more than the Celine Dion stuff in the end, but that's also amazing).

Excited to dive into this one!

Like this one more than their last collab. Soap Operas have been around for so long, they straddle the line between hauntology and vaporwave. This seems to be more of the latter.

So fucking good! I know its mega early to say it, but pretty sure this is going to be a strong AOTY contender for me!

finally got to listen to this. not sure i like it as much as other stuff he has done (oceans of time is the best example of this). it's choke full of samples from bold & the beautiful which is kinda hilarious if you know the storyline but this has some nice stuff happening here and there. just not sure i'd recommend this over the other ones.

p.s. macy alexander vs caroline spencer

I agree with you. Personally, I'd still rate In Every Dream Home a Heartache as my favorite but maybe it's also because it was the first one I heard (and re-listened to a lot).

I think I prefer this new one for its slightly more icy atmosphere.
