Well thank you for finally sending me off down this rabbit holeReally loving the Kacey Musgraves' Deeper Well album. Great production and mix. Immersive engineers are Jordon Silva and Ryan Hewitt. The latter also responsible for her other atmos stuff which sounds equally great. A lot of the same names in the credits as on previous albums. And why change a winning team? Having Greg Calbi on the prodution team is probably also a splendid idea soundwise. Time for a blu-ray soon? I am hoping for it.
Plenty of things to like about this album. I do like the vocal arrangments either it's Kacey's voice being doubled/tripled/... or doing background vocals herself or Daniel Tashian and other band members doing harmonies. The mix is very precise and nicely levelled which makes the vocals shine. Check out the end of 'Sway'. One could argue that the guitars could have been mixed with a bit more brightness and maybe bottom, but I find they match the vocal very well the way it's done. I also like the small hints to/inspiration from other artists that shines through. E.g. the start of track 1 being very Mama and Papas' California Dreamin', the bass in track 2 which resembles Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side and the peak of Anime Eyes where she suddenly sounds like Olivia Rodrigo.
If you're not sure this is for you, do listen to a few tracks before you abandon it. Hard to make recommendations since there are so many great tracks, but try at least Cardinal and Jade Green. We have a Norwegian expression that translates to 'being like conditioner for your soul'. I feel this is just what this album is. No hard edges just soothing and beautifull. Everyone needs that in between and often on Sundays, either it's after a hard work week og lively Saturday.
Even worse, I've even made myself a best of playlist using all five studio albums...
