This was one of my first anticipated album releases of 2024. And it does not disappoint.

- “I Quit”
- “Bending Hectic”
- “You Know Me!”
Focused
I’ve listened to the album at least 5 times since it came out last Friday and it is better than the debut album “A Light For Attracting Attention” that came out in 2022. And I really liked that album a lot. It made the number 2 spot on my Top Albums of 2022 list. So when they announced this new album, they had already played some of the songs live like “Bending Hectic” and “Under our Pillows” and I started noticing the slightly refined sound. And with even more listens to this album, I will find myself liking it even more.
An Album of Videos
So they have released both official and art form videos for each song on the album.
Wall Of Eyes
Teleharmonic
Read The Room
Under Our Pillows
Friend of a Friend
I Quit
Bending Hectic
You Know Me!
Initially I went “I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them” and then “ohhh, the Thom Yorke project”. I’ll have to give this a whirl!
I am curious how you like it.
I hate admitting that I’ve never heard of this.
It’s all good. Did you listen to their first album from 2022?
