“The sort of song Malkmus would’ve likely made if he wasn’t so consumed with being a slacker.” Great line, Kevin!

Love it. Thank you. My daughter introduced me to lo-fi a couple of years ago, and this by Neato is great. I don't have the words to explain it, but lo-fi heals my brain as I listen, improves my focus when writing, and makes the most mundane tasks (e.g., washing dishes) enjoyable as my mind and body soak in and moves to the beats.

Right on! I'm glad you liked it, and I think you've described the way it moves you perfectly.

This is the sort of thing that takes quite a lot of listening for me to get into but it’s usually worth it. The fact that it isn’t immediately easy means that it constantly draws your attention and I like that. First impressions are good. Thanks for sharing.

You bet! Sometimes, the best records are the ones that takes a little bit to really sound out.

First listen sounded pretty good. Really like how "Quiet Thing" kicks up at the end. "Hideaway" stood out too.
