This is still boring as fuck but like it's still kind of nice. Just gonna settle on it being a 3/5 background-noise album

It's boringly nice! Things can be boring to actively listen to but enjoyable enough as mood setters or w.e

It’s calmingly unobtrusive and satisfyingly adequate for listening to in the background yes.

fell asleep with Crush on and woke up to this, which feels like the reverse of the optimum experience and I enjoyed it sufficiently not at all that it gets a bump down :[

I like a good recurring motif just as much as the next guy but this is just excessive tbqh

well in favour of good recurring motifs, Son Lux has had a couple that have appeared in nearly all of his albums in some capacity or another - sometimes with such subtlety you could listen a dozen times and still miss it - and I always found it to be a really beautiful way to string his discography together

start with At War With Walls And Mazes and note the vocal melody at the very beginning of the album, it reoccurs in Weapons as the main melody on piano, and then in Epilogue as well. Then from there you will be able to find it as an "easter egg" of sorts in each album after that. I found it in all of his first four albums eventually. Haven't found it in the albums after Bones yet, but I haven't spent much time with those albums.



Thats the most easy to follow one, but there are some cool lyrical motifs and such as well. I've even found some cool little Motif easter eggs in his album/song titles..
