The Dutchess and the Duke record has consumed me. There are very few times when I hear a song and within the first 10 seconds I am filled with an almost animalistic knowledge that not only this song but every song compiled with this song into a record will be incredibly and profoundly affecting for me. This song that I heard was "Reservoir Park" and it was one of the only songs hype machine had of theirs. I bought the album on amazon. I NEVER do that. But I had to. I went on just to look at how much the album cost, and I saw the "download this album" button and I just clicked it. I didn't even think about it. I just saw it and I clicked it, and I have not regretted it yet.
They do retro so well, it's not cheesy or patronizing, it's just a part of them. The lyrics are simple but deep, the kind of lyrics that make you think "I could write those" only to reexamine their composition moments later and realize "No I fucking could not!" because sometimes people just know how to put words together so perfectly that every other sentence you write for the rest of your life seems to be a testament to how much you will never write like them/that.
I love this fucking album so much that it is making me angry to write about it right now. I can't explain it by stringing together letters. I cannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnot.
That was 20 n's.
