Folklore Review

Given the acclaim this has received, I went in to this expecting great things and it really wasn’t anything more than fine for me. It feels 5/6 tracks too long, there wasn’t anything particularly evoking and I just can’t see myself ever listening to it in full again. It’s certainly not a bad album. the 1, cardigan, mirrorball and peace are all nice; august and invisible string are probably my favourites. I couldn’t help but find exile (ft Bon Iver) and the last great american dynasty to be absolute cringe fests. Overall, there’s just nothing here that pops out for me.

Highlights: august / invisible string / the 1 / cardigan / mirrorball

Album Rating: 6.5/10
