Creates magic again and AGAIN Favorite track: Bananas.

Garrett Daun I couldn’t resist getting the colored vinyl+tape bundle, even without owning a record player. I’ll put it on the wall like the art piece it is.

Full of love and admiration for BPB, and gratitude for the man behind it all as well. Met Will a few times over the years, and always came away uplifted and more appreciative than before.

_cavstic_ I say this with the greatest of confidence that Will Oldham is truly one of the most important treasures in music.
