Forever Daze 2xLP by RADWIMPS

Listened to this front to back on a rainy Sunday and the pandemic-era hopefulness really comes through in the sequencing. The double LP set is well-pressed, quiet surfaces, and the booklet with the lyrics adds a nice touch I wasn't expecting.

The packaging is gorgeous and the vinyl itself feels heavy and well-pressed, which makes the pandemic-era themes hit even harder when the needle drops. Side B’s flow is particularly satisfying, and the sleeve art alone was worth the wait.

I’ve been playing side A on repeat—the way the pandemic-era tension bleeds into hopeful melodies is exactly what I needed. The 2xLP split really lets each side breathe from track to track.
