4.5 superbHurricanslash | June 24th 12

Nice little ditty of Acoustic Indie-Pop. Beautiful music. Too sad this isn't popular.

Recommended tracks: Bucket, Tug of War, Sweet Talker

2.5 averageBedex | January 18th 20

Is it bad? No. Is it annoying? No not really. Will I come back to it? Probably not. It's a nice debut, but it feels very generic. 1-2 and 6 completely feel like happy kids music from the 2000's, and 2 makes me feel nostalgic for a life that wasn't mine, that of a young girl kid growing up in California in the 2000's. Songs feel like they belong to the school era of your life. 5 for example is completely a slow prom song. Some songs like 3 feel like generic Christian pop, the kind of stuff the hot girl in the school will sing at the high school talent show whatever in some movie. The last third is best, with 7 and 8 having a touch of an interesting twist, especially with vaaaguely soul vox, and 10 reminding of a female-led, profusely pop, distortion-less Teenage Dirtbag. Honestly it's not bad, and probably my fav track here. 9 interrupts that third with more generic core and feels a bit much and 4 is weaker too. Thankfully both the album and the songs are short, so this isn't too bad and about a 2.3

Carly's take on early 2000's alt/contemporary/rock/pop/whatever. It may be kind of poppy but I really dig the vibes given off. Each song is catchier than the next.

1.5 very poorAftertheascension | November 21st 15

Her best, but still very boring, generic, and uncreative. Same song and dance as every other shitty pop star.
