If this town makes you sick
Pack your pillow and your Soviet Sweater, digest the politics
It’s been hard to keep up with the headstones
Maybe it’s not what you wanted but you got what you see
Anticipating pinocchio moments just living on the screen
It’s just what it seems
Sorry, I tried to go the weekend dry
Spared my face the razor side
And packed the car tight
Caught me at a bad time
I leave it all outside
Certain kind of midnight
And then it’s all worse
I must admit, must admit I’ve been sitting more than I’ve been thinking
Write me back into the script
We need a hero but I’m wearing a cape I can’t fill
Sorry I, tried to go the weekend dry
Spared my face the razor side
And packed the car tight
Caught me at a bad time
I leave it all outside
Certain kind of midnight
And then it gets worse
Livid and lonely, don’t let it go down, what’s in a win for you
Skinheads and their revive
Free-for-all, rank and file
Spare me your pity, don’t let it go down
Keep shunning all the daylight
And trolling those threads
To give yourself a break
So if you don’t mind now
Let your fingers move along and do the talking

This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time. isaiah_stuart

Even though they sing about injustice and being generally fed up with the male species, Camp Cope play like they’re having the time of their lives. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 2, 2018
