Elijah Kahuroa - Stainton

This is the most soul crushing album I've ever listened to, I suppose listening to the entire thing at once may not have been a good idea, but yeah. It's definitely something special. I remember listening to this whole album in one sitting and getting destroyed emotionally lol, idk how to explain it. Since it's such a long album, while I was listening, my imagination wandered a lot and basically invented a whole alternate universe life for myself in the 30's. Finding love, working on a farm, going to war, settling down, buying the farm, having kids, getting old... The final track felt like I was saying goodbye to that whole reality I had constructed I feel like my experience was a bit different to what other people have experienced... but who knows, maybe that was the intention of the album, being a slow descent over years and years from youth to death.
