There’s a phrase that gets tossed around sometimes: strange beast. And for the life of me, I can’t think of a better description of this record.
It’s as approachable as it is esoteric, as subdued as it is grandiose, as domestic as it is wild, as patient as it is frantic. It feels almost like a big huge fluffy bear-like beast that you want to snuggle up to, even though you know it might rip your head off.
