Popular liner notes
"Once in a Lifetime is about a man who woke up inside his own life and didn't recognize it. I'm twenty. I keep it as a warning."
— runningupthathill
"the bass guitar on Crosseyed and Painless sits at a frequency that does something specific in a room. i've tested this."
— overtone
"Riding the BeltLine at dusk when this came on and I looked up and the city looked like the album sounded. Haven't trusted coincidence since."
