I feel like I need to follow this band more closely. Constantly like their albums, but never bought any. Need to watch that Amperland video. Also glad when Nandi shows up. I liked her early Half Waif material but no so much the recent ones. Love her piano and melody work on Pinegrove stuff though.

So, got my vinyl in (Rough Trade split cover, green lp) and spinning it finally, having spent a lot of time listening to this over the past few weeks prior to receiving the LP too. What does everyone else think? This version of the packaging baffles me a little: I love the split opening front cover, but it's not inspiring me to open it again when the picture inside is, like, iPhone 3 murky smoosh. A similar image is printed inside the cover sleeve, much like some of Radiohead's LPs, and it works like that! I don't know, it's a cool package idea, just wished it was used a bit more effectively, but maybe another artist could take that cover further. I'm hearing there's pressing issues with the red variant, so happy I waited it out and didn't get that variant.

Packaging aside, 11:11 feels way more solid compared to Marigold. Marigold didn't grab me so much, I probably need to give it a bit more time, but I also need to get over the fact that Skylight is so good and Marigold is not Skylight 2.0 and is a different collection of material. I think one track that hits me like a brick is Respirate, they are playing with different ambience here without go too far away from their core sound, it's simple like putting in that droning synth, but the impact it builds when it hits into that chorus is huge. I think the only thing that leaves me cold is 11th Hour, it's a bit of an abrupt end to a song that didn't have a chance to go anywhere.
