Laika's most mature release in a lyrical and production sense. Both members are on top of their trip-hop games, but mostly the album exudes lush brilliance of sound. Masterly creating a strong trip-hop presence all around without missing a beat, Laika's Wherever I Am I Am What Is Missing would seem to be their best work to date. It neither feels a bit vintage as Silver Apples of the Moon or hampered with boredom like Sounds of the Satellites had.
