Sincere Insanity

by Often the Thinker

supported by

Ben Birkinbine Another top-notch addition to the Often the Thinker catalog. The collaboration with Charles Spearin really shines through here with familiar stylistic elements but also pushing OTT in new creative directions. Favorite track: Begging Morning.

jaredmatt For fans of: beauty. My favorite album so far this year. OTT keeps up their stellar track record of gorgeous releases. By turns pensive, emotive, otherworldly, majestic, deep, delicate, grand.... without ever being pretentious. Another high artistic achievement that you should not miss. Favorite track: Sincere Belief.

about

Fifteen years after their first release, Often the Thinker has just released their fifth LP, Sincere Insanity. In adding Broken Social Scene’s multi-instrumentalist Charles Spearin for production and additional instrumentation, the collective finds themselves more mature and more patient, harnessing an energy that is both hopeful and somber, delicate and dense, pure and unselfish. The new LP is anything but a quick listen; with ample dynamics and space, the album showcases the importance of writing a record as a whole. Often the Thinker asks the listener to commit entirely to the record and the elegant world that is Sincere Insanity.

BRUIT fait partie de ces groupes qui se découvrent surtout en live. Une claque de tous les instants, à chaque mesure. Du son des cordes magnifiques à la guitare qui nous enrobe, le voyage est exceptionnel et en vaut la chandelle. Merci encore 🙏 kevinoudard

You have to love a band whose every song and every album sound new and different but unmistakably sound like that band. EITS is one of those bands. Every song is unique, and every album is new, and it is all EITS. Favorite track: The one I am currently listening to. SamInAz
