| 3.5 great | Bedex | July 26th 20 |
3.1 feels a bit low for this, but it's true that it feels far weaker than their prior output. While the early record flows surprisingly well given its variety, after that there are lots of long blanks between tracks, and when the tracks do transition it doesn't always work - the most glaring example being the very soft, lush conclusion to 6 into the abrasive intro riff of 7. And the album is missing key jams to really be memorable. It is however still ripe with ideas and inspiring sounds. I love 1 which is both fat and dreamy with its walls of distorted guitars over Hidden Lands-vibe vox. 2 gives more indie folk vibes but still with dream pop guitars in the background, it is cute but less impactful. 6 is in that same style but even less memorable although the conclusion is very nice. 3 is upbeat and more on the car playlist end of dream pop. 4 has the first weak bit with awkward vox in the beginning, but the change midtrack is cool and the conclusion is even better. 5 is more electronic and unfolds into a really pretty track. Despite the bad transition, 7 is a r eally cool track more on the rock side of things with jammy sections. 8 is quite inspiring as a nice multilayered instrumental. 9 is more shoegazy and has good bits but is a bit meh overall, 10 is a pretty interlude into the dreamy 11 which works fine as a conclusion. 3.4
