Dawn FMA radio station broadcasting from purgatory, and the most fun he has ever sounded while dying.
Her LossA guest rapper walks in and quietly outworks the headliner across sixteen tracks of his own album.
It's Almost DryTwo producers, one subject, and a man who has now been excellent at the same thing for twenty years.
SOSTwenty three tracks, four or five genres and some of her sharpest writing, all badly in need of a shorter tracklist.
Once Twice MelodyEighty four minutes of self produced strings and shimmer, containing an excellent single album inside it.
Mr. Morale & the Big SteppersFive years of therapy poured into seventy three minutes, brave and exhausting in roughly equal measure.
7220The commercial peak, named after his grandmother's house, and mostly worthy of the attention.
Spaceships on the BladeHis most ambitious independent record, and the length is the only thing wrong with it.
