Vinyl: Lucy Dacus - Historian Whiskey: Ardbeg 10 Year • Lucy Dacus hails from Richmond, VA and has been making the rounds as an indie rocker. I got my hands on this copy several months back but finally have gotten to sit and listen to it. I’ve listened to this lovely album in the car many times, so I’m pretty familiar with the music, but this gave me a moment to sit with the lyrics and...it’s a goldmind of witticisms, one liners, and deep thoughts. Themes throughout this album range from remembering old flames to death to being remembered to the hope for unconditional love. It’s a fairly dynamic record, with a lot of solid jams, a couple of cool down points, but the title track really leaves an impact as it finishes the record with: “Was I most complete at the beginning or the bow? If past you were to meet future me, would you be holding me here and now?” One of my favorites from 2018 and one of my favorites still. • Ardbeg 10 Year is an entry-level (price wise) Islay Scotch, and it’s very smoky. Very, very smoky... but it’s mixed with a pepper spice and inter laden with moments of savory meat and sweet fruit. Not for beginners into the whiskey world (because of the smoke) but I love its unique flavor profile. I guess I would match the whiskey with the record, but honestly, I was just in the mood for some smoky scotch during the listen. .-~<{===}>~-. @lucydacus @ardbeg #historian #10yearscotch #nowplaying #nowspinning #vinyl #33rpm #lucydacus #indierock #dram #currentlyplaying https://www.instagram.com/p/B-fwwTehIgR/?igshid=m8zv5m524sya
