Nick Drake's "Five Leaves Left" was my first Drake album. Powerful stuff. I picked up Bryter Later and, hm, the other one (the Pink Moon) album soon after. Bryter is probably my favorite. Because I always drive, I'm the one who picks the driving music, but when we headed up to the KY state park (as written about on my Whores at Applebee's thread), I gave dj duties to Katie. She was all over that shit. Every album she chose was one I hadn't listened to in forever and wouldn't have picked on my own, but was the absolutely perfect album for that part of the trip (which was mostly driving through quiet country roads). Anyways, Bryter Later was one she put on... just awesome, so damn pretty.
Glad you like it - one of my keepers, I've had it a while. I find the EP that preceded it less compelling. One or two of the later tracks on the Megachurches bandcamp album that I posted a few turns back above and on the bandcamp thread are in kind of a similar vein, though not as rich.
@ Brighternow - thank you! Listening to the new Soporus right now. This is exactly what I love about these threads - you post an album, makes me think of another one, others then find it, that bumps you to a third, I learn about a new release by an artist I like, and said artist gets some income (I'll be purchasing this one later). So fun when that happens. Hadn't even thought to look for Soporus on bandcamp, having bought their last at emu.
