    I ordered some microphones and mount eerie stuff a few years ago, and it literally had my name and address written by Phil by hand with like 12 stamps on it. I actually still have the box, just because I was so amazed at how he actually sent all his merch himself, and with so little technology involved. He could very easily streamline that process for very little cost, compared to the time it must take to write everything by hand and figure out the postage.

    The stamps he sends are actually from his grandfather’s collection. I’ve ordered 4 separate things from his label now and the 2 most recent packages didn’t have any stamps which was a little disappointing but as to be expected a collection can’t last forever! It is truly amazing though.

    The Moon is honestly the best track on the album, it's so harmonic with the acoustic layering and the kicking in of the synthesizer and the drums to give it a rushed type of feel. The sax kicking in during the chorus is just purely amazing. It definitely gives us the whole feel of where Phil's describing

    This album is so awesome. I love the album cover too, it really encapsulates the feeling of the album sonically. The sound of this album feels just like an elephant completely out of place in a never ending forest. The doubt and hopelessness as the elephant wonders through the forest, hitting every branch. It’s disorienting yet serene. It’s terrifying yet beautiful.

    One thing that stood out to me about this album, are the middle tracks. After the first couple of tracks on the album, it goes into a streak of 1-2 minute tracks. I've listened to indie rock before, so I was prepared for these tracks to be unremarkable. Just ok songs that you forgot are on the album, till you look at the track list. But no, every single one of these tracks are unique, and had me in awe. This album truly is amazing.

    This album has been one of my favorites for a very long time, and your review brought so much more depth to my understanding and experience with this record. I would have never gotten into this record had it not been for your review of Clear Moon a few years back, so I find it pretty appropriate for it to come full circle. Excellent job as always!

    If this album doesn't click for you try listening to "It Was Hot We Stayed In the Water". It's not the direct predecessor to this album but it is thematically, and this album really is an intentional sonic evolution from that one. And if it still doesn't click just try listening to each of the songs with intervals in between. It'll make a difference.

    I am also a huge music nerd (clearly not on your caliber), but I am overly excited that you went back and reviewed this album. Not only is it a good review, but you described it more or less perfectly. I first heard it in my mid teens (29 now) and it holds up as one of my personal favorites because of the very raw emotion behind it. There's almost this sort of bipolar element to it that I had yet to hear at that time and have truly heard since. "I felt your shape" and "you'll be in the air" will always be two of my favorite songs without question.

As soon as the first track started I could really tell that it was something way, way, way different than anything I had heard before. The melodies were amazing, the layered guitars were mesmerizing, the vocals sounded honest and familiar, as if it were a friend telling me a story. This album, if you love Aeroplane, will blow your mind.

    Contains a darkness in which I fail to pin down the source. Sweet lo-fi goodness. A complete willingness to the giving up of one’s power and control which is transferred into an inescapable faith and trust of the unknown, of fate and circumstance. incomparable folksy melodies which produce the feeling that comes with the struggle of young adulthood and growing up; the unstoppable force that is time, and completely giving into dominant concepts and forces as such, as if time is the bottomless pit of a lagoon, and Phil (along with the listener), is mindlessly jumping off the rocky ledge looming over this pit, without a moments hesitation. This album is the feeling of that first step.

    Great review, Glowthony Partwono. Interesting point about samurai sword being the wind Phil wishes for at the beginning. I like to take the lyrics of that song somewhat literally and picture Phil actually fighting with a bear in the wilderness. Then, he dies of his wounds in 'my warm blood,' and hearing the end melody from 'I want wind to blow' playing faintly in the ambiance as the album winds down makes it seem like its end is tied into the beginning, which brings to mind the opening lyrics of 'the mansion' as well as a line off the Clear Moon track 'through the trees pt. 2' about there being "either no end, or simultaneous end and beginning." I think about this album too much. Also, if there are any fans of Phil lurking around who haven't heard, his wife is battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer and there's a gofundme he set up in case people want to help alleviate the financial burden her medical expenses have caused over the last year.
