sawmabv What an incredible release by The Ophelias. Their poignant lyrics cut deep while the music makes me bop around the house Favorite track: Vices.

Matt DeMello (himself) Every autumn featuring an Ophelias album is exponentially improved. It's science.

Teagan Felerski The harmony between Spencer and Julien is soo gooood. Favorite track: Neil Young on High (feat. Julien Baker).

sowen Hi Everyone!! I am really enjoying this new album. It is a very confident step up from Almost and For Luck in composition, production, professionalism and overall musicality. Good Work!!! And I’m looking forward to seeing you live in Columbus on 9/28!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Favorite track: Vices.

Christopher Keach I don't have the words for this one. It's overwhelmingly beautiful and strong and emotional. It kills me every time Favorite track: Crocus.
