Just listen

Connect is f***ing incredible what the f***

ezra was definitely inspired by chico buarque

completely understand the AOTY talk here. This is easily my favorite album I've heard all year. This thing is absolutely sprawling with piano solos, guitar solos, trip hop type breakdowns, and just absolutely batshit insane dynamic songwriting all over

classical is one of the most NYC songs i've ever heard i stg

You should listen to the last episode of Time Crisis, Ezra’s podcast. He talks about how he captured that NYC feeling on it. It’s also just a fun listen. Highly recommend getting into the show for any VW fans.

Hope is probably their most ambitious song yet. Goddamn

I have no clue how they so perfectly captured the feeling of a day in the city

it starts in such a propulsive way that reminds me of how it feels to leave the crib and immediately feeling like you’re in the thick of it, like a strong current or something. how everything and everybody moves whether you’re ready or not

the sax solo toward the end especially too, moves me to tears sometimes and it’s hard to articulate why it feels so special/specific to life here

WOAH WOOOOAH.

there were several moments where i was like

soooo in after that

the discourse is gonna be fun on friday

doing my daily discography playthrough and today is Contra

after a little Wikipedia-ing, I realized that I live legit 2 minutes walking from Rostam’s old place where the album was finished, so I’m here rn listening and soaking it in

it's days like this where i wish i lived in ny such a crazy place for the arts in general

listening to gen-x cops to get myself hyped for the album and wow this is really soty

just wait till you hear connect…i’m telling ya

Calm yourself lmfao. I'm sure it's great tho.
