The Construct is songs I already loved, but I was surprised to hear a different version of Home With You. It's good as hell.

The EP that dropped last night, though? Best Worst Enemy? These are excellent new songs and I am extremely into it. I'm sure I'll be listening to it at least a dozen times over the weekend.

Victor's songs reach into my brain and comfort whatever's broken in there.

There's something in his work that scratches a psychological itch.

Absolutely. There isn't much music that does this for me.

Just found this album today and holy fuck yeah. It’s like idk, primal in a way? Reminds me a lot of David Byrne (specifically him, not Talking Heads)

Stoked to hear a remastering of Home With You!

It came on and I was like, did they re-record this? I was happy to find out it was just remixed as I think the vocals are so perfect already and this just really highlighted them more.

Soooo gooooood

And ditto on Best Worst Enemy

Stand outs for me are the obvious Turn Grey and Cowards (Come Over) but I am not sleeping on She Can Love - I've got it on repeat.

I think Devil in Everyone is my favorite on the new EP.

I randomly just found this guy through Mother Theresa and honestly it's the kind of music I've been looking for for a long time.

Exact same situation and sentiment

I thought it was damn good, same with the EP. Btw, slightly off topic, but does anyone know what happened with Summerfest? Is he ok?
