Glass Animals ZABA. Willing to die on this hill.
Sitting on my record player as we speak! ๐
The vinyl sleeve is absolutely gorgeous.
It is incredibly coherent and each song very much fits into the theme they were building. I love the theme of the Island of Dr Moreau (sp?) and the Jabberwocky nonsense word stuff. It's very sensual. It's not mind-blowing or anything but it is a perfect album for what they were trying to accomplish (sensual, kind of dangerous but whimsical, alluring, smooth, playful, sexual). It makes a good album to buy on vinyl because with vinyl you don't really skip songs and it favours albums that are more thematically coherent like Zaba is.
This album is too sexy for vinyl - that would require flipping
Hehe. Depends on if you're too busy to flip or not. Opening up the gorgeous album with the double wide purple jungle scene and slipping the sleeves out is sexy in its own way.
