Again, no idea why these were collated together in the database but oh well. Volume IV clearly seems like the superior one, whilst III feels perhaps like the most forgettable out of all four volumes if memory serves me right. IV's first track is the only electronic one here and unfolds in an almost Tychoey manner, making for a very cute although far from outstanding track. The second track (so 5 here) is very pretty cute indie folk that is quite by the books but very well crafted. III on the other hand starts off on a pretty folk intro track that I question the utility of on a three tracker (I guess as a five tracker in the combination of III+IV then it makes more sense). 2 then starts off on a relatively generic, detuned/slow vibrato guitar sort of dreamy vibe that turns into a cute and relaxed soft folkey indie pop track, still with the dreamay tones. 3 is the most melancholic one of the lot with some Grouper touches in the tones, but this is just very faint and the album isn't really ambient much at all, it's just fairly relaxed indie folk. All nice, never outstanding, though 5 is real real pretty. III: 3.4, IV: 3.5, Total: 3.4
