my best friend from college introduced me to this album, song by song, while driving, cooking dinner together, hanging out in their room.... it wasn’t until they moved away that i became intimately familiar with it in its entirety. it’s 2019. i’m driving on 394 to my job at a preschool. my commute isn’t long enough to listen to the whole thing, so i stop midway through Let’s Get Married and pick it back up on my drive home. i miss my friend. i know we generally love to make fun of Jack Antonoff, but this album really is it. it’s satisfyingly self referential, nostalgic, and intimate. it’s about loss and longing and loving a place and all the people you’ve found there. it’s about home, wherever and whoever that may be. show more
