There are some interesting ideas presented here in both songwriting and sound, but ultimately the album falls a little short for me on pacing and energy. Still it can overall be an enjoyable listen.

An album that starts off big with a few splashes but quickly loses steam. I was somewhat disillusioned before the halfway mark arrived. Nevertheless, maybe in part due to my liking the first few songs so much, the album's strengths outweigh its slogging moments.

Although this avant-pop album has a lot of experimental bits and pieces laced throughout it. As a whole listen to this album, and frankly this duo, still don?t quite know what they want this to be. For example, the intro track ?Bloom At Night? is an indietronica and neo-psychedelic based track with lovely little chamber pop melodies, but the flow of the track seems so stagnet. ?Gamma Ray? has a true to form Julia Holter vocal freak out near the end of the track, but everything else is a mess instrumentally. ?Animal? is a one-dimensional indie pop and folktronica ballad with these truly bizarre synth chimes that feel so out of place. ?Climb Every Wall? is so painfully boring that I can?t with the damn track?, ?Red Snake? is a soothing and pretty ballad though. I could keep going but I really don?t find this album that good. The avant-pop bits are interesting enough to keep you listening, but the vocal performances and typical indie instrumentals leave this album so dry and boring that it?s tough to sit through. This is sad because Laura Marling is one of the better contemporary folk artists and Mike Lindsay is?well he exists.
