4.0 excellentBedex | July 21st 20

This band is super cool and they know what they're doing. Again this is full of ideas and difficult transitions they manage really well. The clearest example is the use of distortion on 1 and 4 which despite being sudden and abrupt works very smoothly and comes off as a nice surprise. The trippy 1 is perhaps the clearest jam here as it evolves with a multitude of cool elements - a track that keeps on giving. It's not that the rest is ever bad or weak but 1 just has that extra edge. 2-3 give off 'champetre'/Big Fish vibes that I got from bands like A Sunny Day in Glasgow or a cleaner Candy Claws' Hidden Lands, 2 being perhaps more complacent and 3 jollier. 4 is super happy and fun with the distortion as I said. After a pretty and relaxing interlude on 5, 6 starts off with distortion straight away and is a cool song on the more rock side of things. The finale and it's fun riffing brings this up half a point (despite the overall thin prod) to a 3.75
