| 3.5 great | Bedex | July 31st 20 |
Very sweet debut record of chill indie pop with folk, dream pop and ambient leanings. It's
not quite there yet as it lacks jams and marking hooks, but to me it shows great promise.
As a record it feels a bit tame and none of these felt like truly stunning tracks, but they
also could fit well on a nice relaxed playlist. I like the fact that there is an intro
track to begin with, with nice bass and psych flavour. The tracks that ensue are all
varying degrees of chill, 2 being perhaps more on the fun/pop side of things, 4 being a
good example of her great singing performance, and 5 embodying the artwork quite a bit. The
chorus guitars just evoke surf and late afternoon beaches you know. 6 and 7 are very cute,
both quite high tier. 8 is more contemplative, and like every track is quite pretty. 9 and
10 to me step it up a notch and suggest she knows where to head, as they try to be a little
more memorable with the nice surprising unfolding at min 2 on 9, and the exciting additions
of eguitar and even synths on 10, with nice bass too. Probably the most exciting track of
the record even though it feels a touch protracted at times. 3.5
