Tirzah – Devotion

very flimsy sleeve, the custom printed poly lined inner makes it even more prone to defects… mine crumbled at the top immediately after taken out of shrink

Weirdly, this record sounded good for the first two plays or so and after a half of a dozen plays now sounds like a bowl of rice crispies next to microphone.

Anyone else?

Soulful & real. The vocal delays and repeating chopped production creates bouncing, eerie, & overall wallow grooves.

Intimate, rhythmic, resonant. One feels as though there are secrets being shared and those secrets are just for you. To be played at all different volumes at any time and anywhere. Oh yeah, the sound of this digital transfer is excellent.

How do you check where a record was pressed. I can't seem to find it anywhere online. I found a comment somewhere that Domino use Optimal for a lot of their pressings but can't find anything specifically about this album?

The incessant drums, spaced out vocals and strings on "Holding On" definitely give me an Arthur Russell vibe.

This record has not stopped growing on me. A solid collection of low-key jams. The mastering is top-notch. Highly recommend grabbing this while it's still available on Bleep.
