“In dreams I scream piano” is beyond brilliant

I could listen to Ezra talk about music all day. He’s an encyclopedia. The dream would be to hear him and Thundercat go back and forth!

Man I’m not gonna lie seeing Ezra’s hairy chest/necklace while high has been a mind blowing combination

Capricorn is too relatable He's right. I got three days when i was born and that was between Xmas, New Year and a sibling whose birthday was right after. No time for us. So I turned to theology and the past for answers. None yet but I'm grateful for the shot 🤘🌞

As someone born on the 27th of December in 97 I love his thought process behind Capricorn. Completely relatable to me.

Funny/cute how when citing slick productions in the past, Ezra chose to shoutout his Father in Laws magnum opus (Thriller)

This album is fantastic. I’ve listened to it at least a dozen times so far. Gets better each time. Notice something new each time. Probably either #1 or #2 VW album for me.

@mattw8350 2 ай бұрын

Yeah it’s competing with MVOTC as best VW album to me. Very much on par with Contra which has always been second, sometimes first for me

I can't stop listening to it. First foray into their material and I'm absolutely hooked.

W interview

@PhilomenaCunt 2 ай бұрын

I do not feel like the interviewer is too interested in the album, tbh. Polar opposite of Zane Lowe. I agree with the criticism that Zane Lowe interrupts way too much, but at least I feel that he is connected with the music. His interviews often have a fan discussion-like quality, which is great.

@CL2- 2 ай бұрын

@@PhilomenaCunt I guess you could be right, I feel like this interviewer doesn't really try to expand on the topics ezra talks about and just tries to get to the next question without going more in-depth

Cya in Missoula. Love the new album-it’s VW with beautiful melodies with a raw, mature feel. It’s my favorite. Bold words but vetted.
