  1. @rarity If you like really heavily layered stuff I'd implore you to check out Clarence Clarity's debut record. It's about as maximalist as they come, especially for 2015, but it almost never feels overwhelming. It's incredibly genre defying and draws influence from just about every page in the book while constantly throwing left hooks at the listener. It's also just really fantastically engineered, with everything sounding crisp and weighty and working organically with the other layers. All of that ambition is backed by some really fantastic songwriting and performances too. I'm afraid I'm kind of overhyping it but I've really had a lot of fun with it since I first heard it. Here's one of my favourite songs off the album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi58qW3G1Jg # as well as my review of it http://northernnarwhal.tumblr.com/post/119137582566/review-clarence-clarity-no-now if you're interested.
