“Family of the year has made the album of the year”
“NEW YORK. Family of The Year has made the album of the year and that no one else seems to have understood the need you read this and not take notice of.”
“It is, as usual, and I am right and all others wrong.”
“So I do not see at all on the world.”
“But I must admit that I scratch me a bit in the crown of the head when I see all the world’s årslistor and notes that absolutely no one anywhere mention my special favorite.”
“Some small Markus Larsson, or at least some ingrained Rolling Stone-murvel, should also have fallen for the deliciously sun-bleached melancholy of the Family of The Year?”
“Oh, struntsamma. Here is my big 2018-kicks – and they should all be viewed as recommendations.”
