"World is best [2]



Absolutely stunning opener"


this is such a strange opinion to me. world is fine, it's a nice opener but idk, there isn't a whole lot to it. maxim's 1 and 2, hello stranger, green wild, this is a true heart, city appearing - all far more creative, full-bodied and affecting imo

This review probably isn’t bad but the piece I remember really liking was my year-end writeup for byvolume. Sadly it’s gone now I think

This lost me a little bit on the overtly ambient parts. Instead of getting immersed in the minimal atmosphere, it just kind of didn’t hold my attention. If I wasn’t completely sold on this, would it still be worth it for me to check out her later stuff? For the record, I loved the songs like Maxim’s II

this is her best i’ve decided

Album Rating: 4.0

always very baffled by how good the vocal production is on this, esp hello stranger

Album Rating: 4.0

The production in general is on point, as are her inflections. The end of each line in the Horns Surrounding Me chorus makes my hair stand on end

Album Rating: 4.0

def agree



city appearing is her best ever song i think, night song being a close second

Album Rating: 4.0

this can have a well deserved bump

[oops - two well deserved bumps]

bump

Diving into her discog because I've never understood the hype and this is wonderful but sometimes the over-the-top cutesy vocal delivery gets old
