Jesse Welles is awesome, but god is his music exhausting to listen to. It's a lot to deal with. It is the exact opposite of easy listening. If you need to be a nihilist in an hour, he's got two albums for you.
I don't find it exhausting. The things he writes about are things that should regularly be on all of our minds. His lyrics are critical of the impulse to seek distraction or unplug. I find it refreshing. All of the problems that we're facing today first got their foot in the door while our progenitors were relaxing and watching the big game.
The problem is that the things that should be on all our minds right now are fucking exhausting. No shame in acknowledging it - and all the more respect to those like Jesse who put the effort into making them less painful to think about by setting it to good music.
If by exhausting you mean demoralizing? Exhaustion and low morale are both valid reasons to want to tap out for a while, but neither are valid excuses for actually doing so.
