Description

Post Malone – AUSTIN – Target Exclusive Light Blue Translucent Double Vinyl

AUSTIN puts Post Malone's given name on the cover and brings his guitar playing closer to the center of the music. Released in 2023, the album leans into pop songwriting, acoustic textures, and full-band arrangements while retaining the melodic instinct that runs through his earlier records. It is a 17-song program without featured vocal guests, allowing the change in emphasis to develop through Post's own voice. The result feels especially interested in how a song can be carried by a melody, an instrumental hook, or a shift from a quiet passage into a larger chorus.

I Don't Understand opens with a subdued atmosphere before Something Real broadens the sound. Chemical then delivers one of the album's clearest pop hooks, with the guitar and rhythm giving it a brisk sense of movement. These early songs establish the range of the record: it can sound troubled without staying hushed, and an upbeat arrangement can contain a more unsettled perspective. Novacandy continues that movement between immediate musical appeal and lyrics concerned with what lies underneath the surface of a seemingly good time.

Mourning and Too Cool to Die show how comfortably Post works within this more melodic setting. His voice retains the roughness and stretched vowels that make it recognizable, while the production supplies guitar-driven color and a polished pop shape. Sign Me Up and Socialite keep the middle of the first record moving. The recurring involvement of collaborators Louis Bell and Andrew Watt helps connect the arrangements, even when an individual song shifts from a restrained verse into a wide, emphatic chorus.

Overdrive is a concise example of the record's guitar-oriented approach, while Enough Is Enough gives the later stretch another substantial sing-along moment. The final run includes Buyer Beware, Landmine, Green Thumb, and Laugh It Off, allowing the album to wind toward a more reflective conclusion. Across those songs, AUSTIN keeps returning to the tension between outward activity and private uncertainty. It is an album that rewards listeners who enjoy Post's melodic voice as much as the beat-centered music of his earlier releases.

This Target edition contains all 17 tracks across two light-blue translucent vinyl records. The four-side program begins with I Don't Understand and ends with Laugh It Off, matching the standard album sequence. Mercury and Republic released AUSTIN as Post Malone's fifth studio album in July 2023. The colored pressing is the distinguishing feature of this edition, presenting the album's sustained move toward guitar-led pop in the complete double-vinyl format.
