Welcome! And thanks for the thorough write up! I'm glad you were able to emotionally connect with this album.

I think the barking dogs on I'm Your Man are supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. It makes that song a bit more challenging and intense which I like.

After a few more listens I think I can safely call this my favorite album from Mitski. Although I can't say that I've given her other work as much attention as I've given this album. Perhaps there's a reason for that.

The thing that has kept me coming back to this album is the opening track Bug Like an Angel. I love this song. The lyrics stand strong and emotional and with Mitski's quieter delivery the backing choir acts as an exclamation point. The contrast between her and the choir gives me chills every time. This is just an excellent song.

The other song I want to mention is I'm Your Man. Honestly I just really like the outro with the dogs barking. It's jarring and eerie in a really cool way.

Overall I'd say this a great album with emotional and impactful lyrics. I'll probably come back to it a few more times and I'll definitely at least listen to Bug Like An Angel some more.

Before Preoccupations and Viet Cong a couple of these guys were part of the band Women. Their albums are worth checking out too

Awesome choice! I wasn't expecting a 2 month old album to make it to album club! But this one deserves the attention. I've given it a few listens since it came out but let me get one more listen in before I give any deeper thoughts.

Awesome! I think it would be a good idea to include a schedule for future weeks on the weekly post. Take a look at how hiphopheads is doing theirs.

Also can we set up an external group chat between you, me, and the other mods where we can discuss this and other community stuff? Lemmy direct messages don't seem to be great and I don't want to fill these threads with community discussion

Well I'm not the main mod over there and I haven't heard what we are doing for this week yet. If this idea is still going strong in a month or two a crossover would be a really cool way to promote both communities.

Hey [email protected] are we doing this again this week? Do you need album suggestions?

Love this band. Especially their first 3 albums. But their most recent album (where this song is from) was really good too

Wow this is some hauntingly beautiful music. I highly recommend for any ambient music fans

This is less interesting to me than her previous album Glitch Princess. This sits more firmly under the alternative rock unbrella unlike Glitch Princess which was experimental glitchy pop.

So maybe check this out if you DIDN'T like her previous album haha

I'm confused by this band name lol. I was wondering if there was a typo. Nope it's Slaughter Beach, Dog

Next week's is new to me! Not sure if I'll like it but I'll give it a shot.

By the way we stole your album club idea over in lemmy.world/c/alternativenation. First week went okay. Hopefully both of our communities continue to grow and we get more discussion in the future.
