WHAT FANS SAY (7)

SickElixir is by far easily one of my favorite albums recently. Such a monstrous sounding album.

Ok SickElixir is genuinely sick. And the cover features pigeons so I am happy.

Never before has Blawan sounded like he just made something for him only, as much as he did with this record. It's great. And he always just did his own thing. But there are just no inhibitions here. Even the song titles just ooze "ugh whatever here's a title."

SickElixir is Blawan's deconstructed club entrance, man is in his new prime

wtf did I just listen too, SickElixir?

Last.fm user · lastfm

"this could kill a victorian child" or whatever is a stupid and overused statement but i genuinely think this guys recent output could give a puritan from 17th century massachusetts psychosis that indirectly leads to an early grave
