'Ashes', for its sweet brevity and snappy melodies, is your quintessential electropop jig. Dense as
custard, the elements tessellate like cog teeth and then fuse together, coated with puffing hi-hats and
the ghostly wails of a theremin synth. What's not to love about a song that tricks you into echoing and
swaying to "all of this will have turned into ashes tomorrow"?
The hushed utterance of the album's title in 'Return To Another Home' might just float past you at first,
but it's really telling of the apparent mantra. The synths, percussion and ambiance are tightly packed at
times, and taken together with the half-whispered vocals reek of a subdued discordance; an existential
crisis diluted by the compact electronics. On 'Noises', skipping stone bleeps skate over a soft tremolo
organ and the diligent repetition of "at night, noises wake me up", slowly accumulating wayward
whines and prodding piano. It sees the narrator at his most tired and squinted, the last vestige of his
soul carried gingerly in his music's hammock. The record falters in places as it attempts to deviate,
straying a bit too far from its pleasant melodies without compensating enough with anything else, but
largely My World Spins Faster, You Fall Asleep is as dizzying and subtly strident as its title.
