St. Vincent - MASSEDUCTION
This month's selection is the latest from St. Vincent. I've only listened to the songs that have made it Sirius XMU - and I liked a good number of those - so I was curious to give this a spin.
I really like what they've done with their exclusive print - the colors on the sleeve and record compliment the color pops on the gatefold really well!
It's a simple color pressing - but it just feels right with the album artwork.
The album comes with an iron-on patch. You can't see it here, but it's the graphic of her head and arm popping out - seen on the back side of the gatefold.
The album comes with beautiful liner notes! Who else loves reading through these while giving the record a spin?
I had a bit of a hunch of what to expect, and it pretty much lived up to what I had assumed it'd be. It's got a lot of pop in there, but there are a few more industrial and deeper tones paired with beautiful moments throughout. My clear favorite tracks were the opener, Hang On Me and Los Ageless!
Verdict: I thought they did a good job of continuing the album's artwork vibes into their exclusive pressing - and the album was a great listen - I couldn't ask for more!
