Dofon - Whale In The Pond (2020) | Alternative Indie / Folk

9.5 / 10

"Dofon, that high, and then ending with the sudden silent tone, deafening silence. fuck."

its so nice hearing a language my grandmother used to speak in, in the form of a song hehe. really liking the age old 80s vibes and the words omg the lyrics, they're about Silchar arent they, Silchar in the 60s, damn.
aaah wait The Night's End is so pretty! reminds me of a Coldplay song, cant put my finger on it but I'll update it here if I can figure it out. the flute backing in Where is your Heart?, wait, wonder what it would look like if you put it over the opening sequence of La La Land. wow, this album, its not just one genre they've mashed so many beautiful songs, Kite/Loon is crazy beautiful, and hauntingly sad. aksaksa Nova sounds so carnival cherry happy and yet its about the end of this stupid planet lmao, funny kids.
