Critic's Take

Pitchfork frames Joshua / Same Day Walking as a rare, forceful nylon‑string statement, praising how the two sessions reveal the range of Lindahl’s ‘brusque, searching’ style. The standout is Long Prowl, Underwater, a shimmering closer whose delirious bent notes feel like reflected moonlight. The title track Same Day Walking serves as a centerpiece, weaving synth, organ, and reverb artifacts directly into his tense strums. Anticipation of the Passed Baton opens the second session with more space and mute, signaling a tonal shift that deepens the album’s arc. Earlier highlights like Joshua Underwater and Little Sister showcase the tactile violence of his technique, while Moon Over adds a quietly menacing afterglow.

Key Points

  • Long Prowl, Underwater is the apex, a moonlit, delirious closer that crystallizes Lindahl’s visceral nylon‑string approach.
  • The album’s strength lies in its two-session contrast: violent, tactile fingerstyle balanced with spacious, reverb‑haunted textures and bolero/flamenco inflections.
