Tonally this album is also quite Sunday afternoon living room, I did say I like the tones



It has an ‘it’s time for tea’ English feel to it - especially on the best song (‘…Blade’)

Exactly.



It’s an English whimsical jaunt



Unless I guess you read a lot about this Isaac chap and invest a lot into his state of mind.



But coming at it without much context yeah it’s whimsical and quite mellow mostly and when it isn’t mellow not a lot is translated to me

Woah so the last 2 tracks are actually rather good 🤔



I wasn’t sold on it until that point, but they definitely grabbed my attention. Good signs.

I often fancy a bit of baroque pop so the earlier songs on this album piqued my interest.

Arcade Fire vibes early on, wouldn’t have been complaining if it was a post-Neon Bible number to be fair

Yeah I’ve been seeing lots of early Arcade Fire comparisons and they’re definitely apt.
