  This is a particularly special album to me - this was one I discovered from an album club I hosted for a few months, nominated by Yuki from the ITA Discord. And around the time that this was nominated and coming up for discussion, my roommates and I were getting prepared for, and actively making, a huge cross-country move out West. It was one of the most stressful, emotionally draining months of my life, but the comfort and catharsis this record brought during that time is immeasurable. There was so much to do and worry about, but having full listens of this as my me-time, soaking in the lush instrumentals and really picking apart the lyricism, gave me something to focus on that wasn't the impending stress of a life-altering move.

  Penny Rabbit and Summer Bear, with it's angelic vocal harmonies and plucky guitars, F Delano's beautiful guitar solo and playful na-na-na's, A Song For You's tender piano and flute duet that exit the song, the hooky chorus of Angeline, and the grand strings punctuating the absolutely heartbreaking lyricism on Summer of '42. Despite covering heavier themes in a lot of it's lyrics, it does so with a deft touch, and I found this album to be a warm hug in one of the most turbulent points of my life. Amazing, and so special to me. Thanks to Yuki for recommending such a stellar project!
