Patricia Taxxon - Little Spoon [Full Album] 

omg guys, check out the alternative artwork linked in the description. so frickin cute. :D (the original too. and the album. everything is cute and good.)

"I've been nostalgic for other people's childhoods all my life" is a line that appears in an old HBomberguy video about racists and their response to Ghostbusters and I CANNOT BELIEVE I recognized it

“Your right to property is antithetical to Christ” good line

Only Christmas present I needed

Lucky me that I got this to be the first album of the new year. May sobek bless us all with high sperm counts in 2019.

"You're a monster in the closet but I've never been afraid of anything I can pet" Iconic!

ah, sobek is expanding into the music industry

Lyrics to Kissing Ancaps (for phone users): Have you ever met a curiosity, that you couldn’t look away? Like a wayward messenger from the other side of a canyon great It’s not polite to stare, but you make it so easy Your clique has a BDSM relationship with the economy Let’s violate each other’s NAP Like the filthy animals we pretend not to be If it’s meant to be, it’ll be, love is evergreen This coming morning will be pristine Let’s violate each other’s NAP Like the filthy animals we pretend not to be I wish it would snow until February Just to give you a good excuse to hold me Just to give you a good excuse to hold me Like an unladen swallow starts a fist fight Your right to property is antithetical to Christ The time is right, so if you got something to prove Sew a fucking yellow and black triangle flag on your fursuit I’d like to make a living kissing ancaps, see? I’m an animated MS Paint picture of Batman The hammer of logic addendum admonished anonymous A topic, a market, and some fluffy handcuffs

Came here from hbomberguy and I'm so glad I did, this is some seriously great shit.

> starts album > immediately hears ray william johnson this is gonna be incredible

2:33 is the start of my personal favorite track, Kissing Ancaps. The second part is criminally short for how emotionally impactful it is. Puts a weird smile on my face every time. Thank you, Patricia.

The beat drop of Kissing Ancaps is so damn good and too goddamn short. So much raw energy in there, I want to bask in it longer. The melody chord progression also reminds me of something from quite a few years ago. Just can't put my finger on what it is, simply makes me nostalgic.

Kissing Ancaps is a bop. Oh damn I didn't realize that was Thom Avella on sax

"I dreamt that all the old men in power died, and for once I felt that it would be alright." Damn, same.

"Ive been nostalgic for other peoples childhoods all my life" is a maaaassssive trans mood lmoa

Seriously, though. What are we gonna do when Ron Weasley spins us a little too fast?

Dear Patricia, should you ever read this: I've played your song 'Honest' to our new-born baby-girl when she was crying and it always calmed her down. Thank you very much and also for your other great songs, you create music that is unique and has meaning.

Patricia is a nice name.

God this has aged well... Hits those hyperpop tingles too, this is wonderful stuff

Kissing Ancaps might be my favourite song of the year bro, the drop gives me chills every time.

I wish i could like this album a hundred times!

As the fall comes, and the winter threatens to set in soon, I'm listening to this album again. I come back to it every year, as the days get cooler and shorter. It just has the right feeling for this time, the early dark, the memories of people and years now only in my past. It's an album that means a lot to me.

I'd really love some separate uploads for each song, or even Spotify availability. Great music, reminds me of Lemon Demon.

I have to say, i am in love and terrified of your music at the same time, its such a deep hidden emotions that reveal with all honestly that make me enjoy it so much but at the same time make me so terrfied that in any momment gonna confront me, grab a deep ugly and sad emotion in my soul and mirror it back to me, meanwhile screams "this is you" on my face, and left me in a puddle of tears for the next few hours. Needless to say, had learn to stop listening to it on public places, and still, wanna thank you for being one of the few musicians who had made me experience emotions once again.

the piano riff for Dead Inside makes me wag my tail so hard 💖💖

Everyone here's praising Kissing Ancaps, but for me the real best banger on this album is Pack My Box

This is my favorite =3 episode.

Hi Patricia, I don't know if you'll ever see this but your music and message have meant so much to me! This album is beautiful. Peace!

Sobek bless you, my friend.

patricia taxxon makes me wanna make music

im gay

Your music is like lemonade without the sugar

Max > London (lil boi represent) Kissing Ancaps and Dead Inside are some of the best Eric Taxxon tracks ever. really throws me back to The Art State with a stronger sense of direction with the instrumentals. the vocals are very emotional in a different way than The Art State's distorted screams; Eric's reaching a really powerful high register in these melodies the album as a whole is extremely hit or miss for me; Film's bass sounds and general production are really grating for me and the sample on Winter was Warm is not very emotional in the same way sample-based Eric Taxxon songs usually are. (Domino, Teaching Mandolin, Winter Beats) but the at-times-random production isnt all a miss; Pack my Box has this really fucking annoying alarm clock sounding synth playing constantly, but it actually starts to form this nice harmony once the beat drops; the vocals get more and more soaring and passionate, then once that synth solo drops it eventually becomes one of the biggest bops on the entire record. instrumentals from One Pop, like in Guns (that obnoxious snare sound lol), really held me back from enjoying the songwriting; but i think Little Spoon goes a bit further to let the quirkiness settle in but man the highlights on this album shines SO fucking brightly. the only bad thing about Honest is that its not even longer. those two cello solos are THE biggest musical moment of the whole record. and i criticized the haphazard production on Film and Winter, but Monster is an incredible example of the quirky production really coming together beautifully with Eric's songwriting. it really helps that this song is catchy as fuck (free falling in love BABYYY) - something a track like Film needed, i think. oh and this guitar adds to the arrangement so much. id love to hear more guitar on Eric tracks (we heard it on Beast before) really reminds me of a New Order instrumental, with all these punchy synths and the tangy drums over it and as a side note, dont think i forgot that sax solo on Kissing Ancaps. ok i actually did and this is an edit, BUT that was fucking fantastic too the two parter piano ballad "Don't forget, I can write soft silly music too" is an obvious throwback to Real Boy from Paul from what i can see. Eric delivers my all time favorite vocal performance by him right here; it probably exceeds Chinese Banshee and Rockefella for me. and its not just because he screams just like in those songs; cause he does, but the emotions portrayed are starkly different. the songs on The Art State gives off this self aware and self deprecating, crying-out-for-help "kill me now" vibe, but the screaming in here is anthemic, potent; confident and powerful. this "So let’s have a party" refrain really speaks to me oh the lyrics. i dont have that much to say, but the stoytelling on Paul and Two Tone had me gripped more. Little Spoon manages to have much more catchier one liners though. "let’s fuck before the world ends", "or "Upturned convertibles, the wholesome people making noise", etc. and "For a song can always come in many shades and many colors maybe / I’ve made a good case for mine" is - again, coupled with the vocal performance - Eric's most potently poetic verse ever. also, all the rap verses are a godsend. i will be quoting "Turn around, let’s make art and get fucked" for the rest of my life now. Kissing Ancaps and Dead Inside still feels like an outtake from The Art State lmao, i love them so much im really conflicted over this album because the highlights are some of the GREATEST shit ive ever listened to, but then there are all these kinda-filler tracks that didnt grab me at all. (not using "filler" as a derogatory term; theyre absolutely essential to the album's pacing, i just didnt like the songs) i think im giving it an 8/10 for now but i can EASILY see myself growing on the other tracks and appreciating the structure; thats what happened with other Eric albums that didnt grab me at first such as Sky Simplified and One Pop

Patricia's music is the only thing that can consistently calm me down, I keep going back to this and Agnes And Hilda if I'm ever panicking, having an attack, stressed, angry, or just feeling too many things for my dumb little nd brain to handle. Thank you for making music, thank you for making art

It's starting to get cold and dark here once again. Winter is fast approaching and i'm very excited to snuggle up in my room while listening to this album again. This album made me appreciate winter. It's intimate, like when you and your loved one are snuggling underneath a warm blanket together. Nothing else matters, just the warmth of their presence and the hope that the two of you will make it out of this together. The present is frozen, so spend it with your future.

this is the best thing since timecodes. speaking of which... tracklist with no timecodes TT_TT

This music makes me feel so inspired, thank you

i've been listening to kissing ancaps and dead inside so much the last two days, such lovely tracks. Entire album is great but those are my stand outs while Don't forget I can write soft silly music too has some of the greatest lylical mix with the pianos

I absolutely love this album and every few months I give it few full listens. Love the strong trans vibes in the first song. Never stop making good shit ♥️

I’ve Been Nostalgic For Other People’s Childhoods All My Life Too

"wish it would snow until february" where im from this year, april arrived coated in snow lmao and i came here from summoning salt iirc, the first two songs on this album really hit for me. great stuff!

everyone talks about kissing ancaps or nostalgic but honestly Pack my Box is the best track on this album

The =3 samples on the opener caught me off guard, but I fell deeper in love with this album with each song.

24:30 so sick, got that earrrrly 1900s recording style nailed

Yo think you can hide that fact that you use smash mouth all star lyrics from me. In the song dead inside you say "the water is getting warmer you might as well swim" kudos for a reference like 2 people will understand.

Taxxon Ma'am, you have succeeded. You have gotten into my "good times" AND "music that helps me." Those both are the Nobel Prizes but for RU-vid. (And of course, some have gotten that prize unrightfully because I was kinda drunk when I added their videos, I remove them when I get time, lol) You are a great artist and very creative.

Im here with all the furry Marxists

This made me cry in public, thanks eric

The last tracks title sounds like a neutral milk hotel reference

"I'm an animated, MSPaint picture of Batman"

Calling it now: 2019 album of the year.

I like this. It’s neat.

It's a Christmas miracle

You owe HBomb a check for that first track. Haha

Это идеально подходит для ночных раздумий и учебы! Плейлисты для продуктивной работы и радио не дают такой расслабляющей и одновременно концентрирующей музыки

Listening to this today has been a weird experience, because something about the tones used in the opening song makes my ears feel like they're melting, but Kissing Ancaps might be my new favorite song. I'm glad I stuck through to see what there was here.

It's been over a year and this album is still as good as the day I first heard it.

i'm screaming cuz dead inside is such an eternal mood

knowing absolutely nothing about the context and background for these songs, “monster” is hitting SO hard for me as a trans man :’) you know what, i think i WILL grow my beard out

Kissing Ancaps has the most well deserved breakdown/drop/whatever you want to call it of any song I've heard. Really enjoy it, absolutely class lad!

albumn banged, stan eric

Hello not to scream at a 3 year old video but this shit has me crying like a little guy. Ima. Guy and I’m crying

3 years late to the chat. This is wonderful. Wicked stuff.

Maybe I'm going crazy, but the tune in Film reminds me of Jerma's giant enemy spider, and the ending sounds like Jerma's teacher noise...

Can you put the track time links in the description?

Literally downloading bandcamp right now so I can listen to this on the go. Bless

I HEARD THE LICK IN THAT SAX SOLO YOU MONSTER

I needed to hear Honest today. Thank you

The ending piano segment of the last song is so comforting

Got recommended by RU-vid from listening to Supercar. Digging this so much, gonna bug my friends about it. Love you London & Max

monster is fantastic and i keep listening to it because it's so goddamn catchy

4:37

Now I'm getting Hawaii Part II vibes of the near end of the third song.

I'm not certain what I just listened to, but I liked it.

I just wanated to shout out homosexuality, that shit rules.

Man the first song hits me hard. I grew up in a rich area full of amazing houses and basements but I am poor.

I feel like nobody is talking about how good "Honest" is. It's all just "kissing ancaps" this and "Dead inside" that, when these songs are all but mediocre in comparison to the emotional and beautiful masterpiece that is "Honest." From the emotional lyrics to the, beautiful cello, it's my favorite by a long shot.

9:34 referencing all star by smash mouth? a truly stylin move.

This made me smile

Monster is a masterpiece.

I came here from Hbomb and I had to skip forward a bit just to make sure this wasn’t 40 min of those beeps at the start THIS IS WHAT THAT SKYRIM VID HAS DONE TO MEEEEEEEE

A Merry Christmas, indeed!!! Happy Christmas to those who celebrate it, and happy holidays to those of all December traditions! Peace and love! ❤️🏴♾

Hbomberguy sent me kissing ancaps SLAPS

another artist for me to compain about how no one listen to them again

not me getting sentimental over a song about growing a beard

That sax halfway through Kissing Ancaps is fucken muy bueno. Is that a sample, or is it just some kickass OG music?

Man I wish your discography was on Spotify but I am completely sure you have some really good vibe reason for it not to be

My new favourite is Pack My Box. Makes me bounce on the way back from work :)

Jesus christ. That was just beautiful

holy shit how are every one of your album starters so good. Love the work. Please keep it up. Good DOG

17:04 - 22:46 “Please Be Honest”

Is this releasing midnight on Christmas or midnight the day after? Ask your local timezone to find out!

wait a sec, *the* patrica taxxon?

god, this album is pure fire!

Yup, going to my "mandatory annual Christmas listen" list

Listening to the first song while brushing my teeth feels oddly appropriate

God I love this album

This whole album is amazing and I'm going through lots of Patricia's work now to try and catch up... but if anyone might know what a fan of the following tracks in particular (especially the lyrics) might best enjoy then please let me know. I really love Kissing Ancaps, Dead Inside & Pack my Box. Also I just found Hareton's Dream and it's great (I'm guessing this is an hbomb reference).

Kissing Ancaps is your masterpiece

first time in a long while that I've stumbled into some really good music
