The Microphones - The Glow Pt.2
So I e done a song from this album on here quite a while ago, so I don't know if this is cheating, but I feel like I have to add it to do justice. The Glow Pt.2 is an album that always bored me until recently when I really started listening to it, and started to see all the complexities and perfectionist attitude the album takes. Songs like I Want Wind To Blow, The Moon, Map, The Gleam Pt.2, I Felt My Size, and I Felt Your Shape are all such great examples of this and should definately be given a chance if you're interested in the album. This leads me to another thing, this album is absolutely gigantic maybe not in length, but in how it's presented. To be fair the album is over an hour which is quite long, but at 20 songs ranging from a few that are short 2 minute ditties and some being 5-9 minute epics that reach a scope that one might not normally expect from a lo-fi production technique and mainly acoustic instrumentation. The Glow Pt.2 shows itself as a beast or raging fire (wink,wink) that can only be truly grasped by many listens and letting go of stereotypes associated with it. A must listen.
