Saw that David took over the instagram account for Drag City, and the next day I see posts about his passing. It ****ed me up, hard. Especially after listening to the album again afterwards, it was right there in the songwriting, but I didn't really hear it till I gave it a deep listen.
Do you like Natural Snow Buldings?

Yeah I haven't really listened to much Silver Jews outside of American Water, but I do love that album. I was interested in the new album and thought it was pretty good, but after his death its even more alluring to me. But I have a predisposition towards death-centric albums. Him talking about feeling strange as the people (girl) he loves flourishes really spoke to me after having gone through similar mental health stuff. He totally leaves it all out there on that album. Yeah I love that album lol.
Havent heard of Natural Snow Buildings! Listening to em right now!

About music you're listening to, I've been wanting to check out Purple Mountains for a while, I've read praise of them on this forum. Also cool that you're listening to Julien Baker; I never really got into her music (yet) but I'm a fan of her bandmates in Boygenius!

Yeah I love Pheobe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus too. I think Julien Baker's music is the kind that grows on you after a while, at least that was my experience.
