Exactly what I needed after listening to Mia Gargaret and wanting more. This is soft,
simple ambient that they do so well. The first track feels like it's designed for dance
and is simple but well executed - I particularly enjoyed the subtle turn it starts taking
midtrack. 2 is also very nice, but 3 is where this stumbles a bit. Moving away from the
organic/acoustic brand of ambient AWFTS are used to, it starts off noisier and in more of
a drone style, which normally I'd enjoyed, but here feels a bit out of place, a feeling
which is reinforced by the suddenly far thinner prod. In fact prod on the track is
overall poor, varying a lot and having excessively large changes of overall volume. The
track has pretty ideas especiallyy near the end with the return of the piano, but its
early section separates the good ideas too far from the first two tracks for it to work.
Not AWFTS' best material, but certainly a nice EP to pick up when in need of a short fix.
