I don't like this one as much as I like Walking Up That Valley yet, but it could reach there as I listen to it more. I had to hear that album a few times before I loved it so much, it's probably my favorite album of 2021.

TBH, Valley is the album of theirs I prefer by a margin (yjis one included), because of the longer tracks, which allowed much more space to insrumental interplay, whether the awesome t/t or Offered You The Moon.
But I must also say that I haven't heard their first two albums, which had longer tracks as well.
Currently correcting that flaw (both are on offer in their BC page)

Walking Up That Valley is my favourite one.

The only thing about this album that I kept expecting was the band breaking into a long excursion featuring fuzzed out organ and then guitar solo a la Caravan.

Indeed, WUTValley had two longer tracks which allowed musical interplay and gave a different feel to the band (which Aimless Mary had hinted at already), whereas Remains and Diary don't have that track length diversity.Originally Posted by Splicer
Having seen the band in Leuven (some psych rock organization), the longer tracks were definitely the highlights of the concert. The sound wasn't perfect (it was a concrete large garden shed, not really worthy of the concerts & bands i saw there - Anekdoten for ex), but all the short songs seemed kind of samey and it was becoming a bit boring. Fortunately the crowd picked up once they understood that there was a longer track coming (most of them were announced, before the song) and the mood went up a couple of gears and it made quite the difference.
I was hoping they'd noticed and maybe added lengthier compositions to the next album (this one), but alas....

Needlepoint has clearly become one of those bands whose releases are autobuys. There are several instrumental parts on this new album that are off the chart.
I have them all..

They’d be cool for Progday.
