PACKS
Melt The Honey
60--90点相当
前々作が良かった。
前作は、メディア評価が悪かったため
新作が出ていたのに気づかず。
Crispy Crunchy Nothing
今作もメディア評価的には、
高得点が出ていたりするものの
概ね厳しめの点数が出ている。
このバンドの土台のサウンドが結構好みなため
個人的には、毎作好みな感じだが、
アルバムとしては確かに一本調子なだるい部分が残るところがあるかも。

In March of 2023, the same month they released their alienated sophomore album, Crispy Crunchy Nothing, Toronto's PACKS spent three weeks in Mexico rehearsing and recording their next album. The band's leader, Madeline Link, had done an artist residency there in 2020, and amidst the warm weather and avant architecture of Casa Pulpo in Xalapa, they tracked a set of songs written with Link having newly found love and moved in with her partner. The resulting Melt the Honey -- their third straight under-30-minute blast of snarled slacker ditties -- is still fractured and generally discombobulated, but the subject matter is a bit lighter and the vibe more copacetic than previous releases. Among the 11-song track list are songs about neglecting to back up files ("89 Days"), the cat at their practice space ("Missy"), high fructose corn syrup ("HFCS"), and multiple definitions of tripping ("Trippin"). Told from the perspective of the cat, the uptempo and mostly monosyllabic "Missy" features a night-prowling, spoken Spanish-language verse by Lupita Rico as well as English lyrics like "I will yawn when you notice me/Look at my nails, then the ceiling" by Link.
