Listening to @themarsvolta.bsky.social’s #FrancesTheMute record for the first time in a little while and still blown away by this masterpiece every bit as much as when I first bought the CD twenty years ago. One of the best — if not *the* best — albums of the 21st Century.
"you want to join my primitive noise band?"
"no, I like organized sound"

Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore: okay, I might need to resume this in a different headspace

The Widow: I bought this track on iTunes for 99 cents in ~2009 when I was 14 and decided I was the type of Music Person who wanted to expand her horizons
And it was just a slow, sad song with a long and pointless ambient ending
But at 30, once again... I kind of get it now
#FrancesTheMute
First track in its entirety: holy shit #FrancesTheMute
Can I do it all tonight? #FrancesTheMute

20 years ago I remember driving 45 mins to the nearest store(FYE) that would have an album like this in stock. Kinda worked out because the drive home was the perfect intro to this incredible album. Dark but full of flavor and style, an absolute masterpiece.
