Jordaan Mason & The Horse Museum - Divorce Lawyers I Shaved My Head

[@danielw.2554]

God, I remember around 2011 in highschool hearing this and was so taken aback by the pure emotion behind this album. As a straight man this has had such an impact on my acceptance and understanding of gay men later down the road.

[@Legolas75893]

easily one of my favorite albums of all time. amazingly underrated

[@eescoto71]

This album is so painful and personal It's one of the hardest albums for me to listen to emotionally but it's probably in my top 5 at this point

[@InvaderTK]

I'm starting to figure out transness and gender in a way I wasn't back in 2012, so listening to this in 2012 was really sad, and listening to this 2020 has been like swimming through liquid broken glass.

[@floralsunglasses8862]

I had known the song racehorse: get married for years and I had tried to understand it as much as possible while only really understanding the beginnings of a whole story. Today I found the rest of the album and it really just shone the light on the nature of that song and on Jordaan Mason’s marriage and divorce as a whole. What an interesting and intricate album! It’s almost like a puzzle where certain imagery is used across songs and certain meanings and narrative pieces can only be picked up by making those connections. This whole album is like a memoir to read. It’s an honor to be listening to the full thing now.

[@JoshTheGreat33]

gosh this album is so fantastic. obvious influences - horns and obscure lyrics of NMH and guitar and vocal delivery of phil elverum - but it’s such a captivating sound that so few have ever been able to pull off.

[@frederickborgemenke2214]

Man the new season of BoJack Horseman took a wierd turn.

[@accursedalucard1457]

hard to think i've known this album for years, and every time i listen to it again, i develop a different and deeper attachment towards it. only a couple years ago i discovered henry darger and realized how many connections this album has to his work. jordaan also mentioned in some live performance that the album was essentially about two lovers struggling with gender identity trying to stay together during a war that's destroying the world (specifically, "1990 was a long year..." is when they are the last people on earth) and it is extremely open to interpretation, which i thoroughly enjoy. i love this album. super underground gem. changed my life, as cheesy as that sounds!

[@teapeaa]

ive listened to this whole album twice in a row and my throat aches from singing along. lets go for another round

[@delta713]

this album was an integral part of figuring myself out gender-wise. thank you jordaan mason, this album is probably in my top 3 all time favourites

[@SkinnyAwkward]

I'm glad I never lost my faith in neo-folk. Bobby's a drag.

[@tcaw8813]

You think this is neo folk? It's not dark enough I dont think. It's neo folk if you consider NMH neofolk, but even that has more themes about the holocaust and such.

[@SkinnyAwkward]

Nah, I didn't say I think this is neo-folk. Just glad that I hadn't lost my faith in it. I probably shouldn't throw the term neo-folk around though, maybe just that contemporary styles of folk are an optimistic forecast for the future.

[@pig5469]

What's neo folk and who are some neo folk artists?

[@hldr4345]

@@pig5469 neofolk is a subgenre of folk originated in the early 80s, that featured heavy and dark atmospheres, tend to be very reverb heavy and feature at least a few other instruments other than the typical acoustic guitar. The main Neofolk group out there is Current 93, they've done everything from droning harmoniums to ambient piano to avant garde jazz folk

[@AvalonsMessenger]

oh my, is it already sob-uncontrollably-o'clock? i guess it is

[@TheNineteenKing]

It’s a painful feel

[@TheNineteenKing]

Avalanches is such a punch of a song. Left hook straight to my angst.

[@dragonheart81vids]

I adore this album.

[@farter_snail]

I remember listening to this album in middle school and wondering why I related so much to the lyrics. Spoiler alert: I'm extremally gay and trans

Part of "____ is water" is missing. All the times from (s)mother onward are off-set because of this. If all the audio were in there, the times would be right, though.

nah

[@RoyalBillFrito]

+Alex Royster the pace is way slower but I kinda see what you mean with the horns and stuff

[@ryanbusse5374]

I think they’re very similar in their approach to writing lyrics. Something about the surreal and often uncomfortable imagery is very similar

[@ResidualOaklore]

@@ryanbusse5374 yeah, they have the same fairytale, childlike language weirdly juxtaposed with sexual/anatomical stuff that NMH and Purity Ring have. Always skeeves me out a bit but it's well done.

[@bubonickhronic8392]

track 09___ Is water cuts out half way though for me, maybe my youtube is fucking up idk. I love this album tho.
