I'm not all that into Fleet Foxes, but this was good.

God, where was this support when "Incapable" got destroyed in a previous WTM?
Even as someone that adores What's Your Pleasure?, I think that this was a better disco song than "Step Into My Life".
There's also, like, two songs on WYP that I would say this was definitively better than.

Oh wow thanks for the win here! I knew "Sofia" would do well but not this well, there was some tough competition here. Glad to see some of my favorite discoveries from the entire tournament (the two Roosevelt songs and "Say the Name") do really well too. Now I hope "Sofia" can be my best performance in a WTM final! Manifested (my highest finish before was #12)

I don't mind the song but I swear gorillaz could release audio of damon albarn making farting noises with his mouth and it would still make the finals because pulse madnesses love their vaguely left of centre but still somewhat accessible and recognizable artists lmao

Definitely preferred this to "Feels Right", and it's more reminiscent of the quality I'd expect from Roosevelt.
I'll take this, though, compared to what I thought #11 would be instead.

Echoes was my favorite discovery. Such a feel good tune. The rest of the top-10 is solid AF but this definitely deserved a top-10 placement over J*son Isb*ll. Fuck his fan club.
