i adore the entire album! i was hip to it via "new town"; i think this was their "breakout" song, at least as much as a half-forgotten band from two decades ago could have one? but lately my favourite from the album has been the opener, "ps exclusive". the instrumental breakdown in the middle, when combined with the frantic vocals, sets the tone really well for the rest of the album. an exemplary opener

life without buildings p good. "happy scottish lady doing sprechgesang over late '90s-early 00's indie rock" is a pretty potent formula

"i can't pay attention if it's not sang to me in a spongebob/miku duet" but for real: i think if your initial exposure to this song was like, passive (having it play in the background, on the top 40 radio and whatnot), you'd condition yourself not to listen closely; your minds files it under "pop dreg". listening to it in a different context allows you to pay attention to things that you didn't before, e.g., the god dangned lyrics
