I got very excited about this early on. The intro track is superb, very different from her EP. The instrumentation has much more depth, production is cleaner, vocals much more processed and interesting (reminding of Grouper a lot). I am not a fan of the bare vocal transition into 2, but glad that there is a transition to speak of and that it flows well. Once 2 unfolds it gets really nice too, and 3 works fine as well. 4 is even prettier and is incredibly vulnerable and delicate. So far, so good. 5 is fine too but already you feel like there are a little too many blank spaces compared to the lush moments, preventing the listener from feeling fully transported if you will. Then 6 ruptures and goes back to the much simpler singer songwriter style of the EP, and some of the shaky vocals get frankly annoying. 7 continues this, but 8 does bring back the softness and lushness nicely before 9 closes the album quite well with Groupery vocals similar to 1 and sweet guitars. I see lots and lots of potential but it;s not fully realised at all and that makes the record rather frustrating. 3.5

Not to take away from Many Room's own musical achievements, but the project feels very Grouper-y but with a bigger lean toward singer-songwriter-ing instead of just the lo-fi psy-folk Grouper so often employs. There's a lot of ambient and singer-songwriter (guitar, piano tracks) stuff going on, all with the same sort of somber minimalism Grouper fans should love.
