'Two Ribbons' is a pretty tough pill to swallow. 'I'm All Ears' was such a unique modern pop record that dropped beyond the distant reaches of left field and surprised many synthpop fans. One of the biggest strengths of that album was the constant back and forth and natural chemistry between Jenny and Rosa that showed in the songwriting, instrumentation, live show and most importantly in the vocals. The songs were not standard format pop tracks but evolved naturally over the course of their extended run times and you kind of just faded into the synth and let the vocals overtake you. Here it feels like you get some of that in the first few tracks but the division between the songwriters grows with each song and by the end, especially in the last three tracks, it feels like B-sides or a bit mailed in. It is hard to get too down on this album because it really does open up very strong with 'Levitation' and 'Happy New Year' and that energy is conserved through 'Insect Loop' which feels the most out of the tracks like it would fit into their older songwriting mold. Certainly a new direction and a bit of a step down. Although it would have been nice to see some evolution on 'I'm All Ear's', these musicians clearly have the potential and the talent so who knows what the future may bring.

The duo artist of Jenny and Rosa come together again for their fourth album, and I have to say this is not only a letdown but sad to see the band drive their unique sound into the general areas of basic synthpop. Last year when Magdelina Bay released their extremely ambitious and genre-defining debut album ?Mercurial World? they set up the comparison album for all future synthpop albums. Well ?Two Ribbons? just is not that record. Now it?s unfair to fully leave it at that, though because this album has significantly more flaws than just that. To start with nothing on the album really stands out, everything is either a dull synthpop track with obvious leanings into electropop or in the case of the last four tracks, an extremely bland set of indie folk/singer-songwriter tracks that immediately make me want to skip the album. To be honest the only likable track is the first one. But overall I see ?Two Ribbons? as an obvious showing of how much the producer SOPHIE carried their 2018 album ?I?m All Ears?, they really can?t make the same feel anymore on their own.
