An album I’ve only ever seen mentioned once on Reddit (which is how I discovered it) several years ago is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. “August is the Cruellest” is the eighth studio album by the Singaporean avant-garde art-rock band #TheObservatory. A great record I wish got more ❤️
AUGUST IS THE CRUELLEST, by The Observatory
