Transmissions (Indie-exclusief)

I was pleasantly surprised by how clear the vocals sound on this pressing—Lee’s reflections on aging and love really come through. The gatefold sleeve feels sturdy too, which is always a plus.

The lyricism on this one cuts deep—death and aging are handled with real weight, and the pressing keeps the quiet moments crisp. I’ve spun it three times already and the surface stays dead silent, which matters for an album this intimate.

The vinyl itself feels solid and the pressing is clean, but the packaging is pretty basic for the price. I was hoping for a lyric insert given how personal these songs are, so that was a bit of a letdown. Still, the sound quality makes up for it if you're into his quieter, more reflective stuff.
