Another blunt hitter in the wave of lo-fi demos off Bandcamp. Its distortions work wonders shaping the melancholy the album tries to convey, but its shortcomings are the length and the pace. It is as if the album was uncertain what it's even playing, really, often jumping places, tempos, delivery styles, and fidelity levels.

Short but very rich. Feels like a hidden gem demo from the 90's that precursed a lot of things, except it's from 2013. The lo-fi production, occasional vox/white noise sample, and violin evoke GYBE vibes very vividly, as a hypothetical indie folk precursor of theirs would sound like. 1-4 is all very strong and in the same vein, but 5 offers a lusher and more psych interlude which frankly feels a bit weird here, while 6 goes to sadder folk first, then offers a GYBE-esque interlude with lush string pads and bells. 7 goes back to the style of the early record with semi happy lo-fi dreamy emo vocals indie folk and is perhaps the best summary of the album despite a weird transition again at the end. The whole album is great but 8 feels like the clearest cut jam here, especially its intro which would fit in a movie perfectly. If this had come out 20 years earlier, it'd be a classic. 3.8

Probably one of the best, if not the best, pop albums released this year. Sam Ray knows how to write good songs and brings a breath of fresh air to lo-fi pop music.
