Moon Pix
★★★★
I guess I'm a bit behind on this, it belongs more in my youtube playlist of three to four years ago. But I think that time will return again, just been taking a break and this will help for that. I just can't push myself to take it exactly how it should be taken, at your lowest moments, those of longing and fear.
That being said, it's not hard to tell how Chan Marshall felt when recording this, and from what I've heard, even years after it was released. Her voice isn't anything super unique that would draw you in, such as that of Joanna Newsom or Björk. But it has a quality that is almost double sided; it's fragile and fearful but always with a tinge of hope that serves it well.
Of course there are some weaker songs on here like "Peking Saint", and "American Flag" (which really is unlike the rest of the album for me), but those songs are absolutely negated by the glories of the churning, emotional pieces on here. And just to point out, the drummer Jim White does an absolutely great job in completing the song structures.

So basically every song between the opener and closer is worth hearing, I guess how I feel about this album depends on how I feel in general but for now I can only respect it and be happy with where I am. From the hit "Metal Heart", to the 4 minute mark of "Moonshiner", it's all for your pleasure and despair.
