Yay! All these new albums! The last few weeks have been so great for receiving lovely presents for my ears from artists whose work I love!

I definitely agree that Mal’s album is a bit of a departure from their old stuff, but I don’t see that as a negative thing. As they said, they’re growing as an artist and changing up their sound a little. From a listener’s perspective, I think the switchover to a more electric-guitar-sound was a great choice for this malbum. & I think, underneath it all, you hear the same mix of clever/funny lyricism and emotional honesty from previous malbums that just makes you want to laugh/cry/curl into a confused ball of feels.

BTW, it was v considerate of Mal & Allison to go on tour together, so I wouldn’t have to take time out of my filled-to-the-brim social calendar to go to two separate concerts! (this is heavily sarcastic, I just moved to a new city and know almost no one, pls help) Also, any chance Allison will be selling prints of Marallison Weirey at her merch table?? I think it would really help to bring together the spooky Halloween decor at my house. (in all seriousness, I really hope that her cat tank top gets restocked for the tour, because I need it in my life/wardrobe).
