Absolutely beautiful album. Although some songs sound similar, that's what I like about them. They're just so good that the repetition is welcome. Fell in Love (At the Water) was the first song I heard, and I enjoyed it so much I listened to the entire album that same night.

Very weird that this album isnt talked about more, the production is simply divine.

Candy Claws, which I never had a particular interest in (and having sampled their earlier work, never would have expected a great turn of quality), out of nowhere upped their ante and made magic happen with this album. All gorgeous sound giving you all the joys of summer at any given point in time.

Here's a band whose aesthetic I struggle to fault but that I also can't seem to get into. When the sound gets noisy it's in a way I rather don't enjoy, and I feel like the blurred, fx-drenched aesthetic was better done elsewhere (cf A Sunny Day in Glasgow). And it feels like it overpowers composition, with songs like 10 or 11 having cool melodic ideas but that I was distracted from by the prod etc. Now this has cool tracks too - the excellent album opener, 3,6,7,9 - the latter of which shows that a more transparent sound makes their song immediately more impactful, whilst the other demonstrate that it is possible to make good tunes with this approach, but also contrasting with the band struggling to achieve that elsewhere. The rest is alright or meh, and frankly I don't plan on coming back to this before a solid while has passed. 3.5

A true Wall of Sound record. Fusing twee, noise, psych and dream pop, this sounds like MBV but feels like MGMT. Either way, it's trippy shit.

Fans of shoegaze will adore the fuzzy guitar sound and the breathy, drowned-out vocals. Dreamy indeed, although it also has its own distinct flavor thanks to its tango-like melodies. It's also beautifully consistent in its rainy atmosphere and warm feeling. - 8.0

Would be a 5 if it didn't have a dropoff in the second half. First half is on par with the best, most innovate shoegaze ever produced.

This album has just enough direction and structure to remain interesting and allow each song to have individual character and memorable parts (which is something some shoegaze albums lack). A better production would have helped this album a lot; with all of the various sonic landscapes that are present, it is a shame that the production is a little flat and compressed sounding. In reality, this is somewhere between a 3.5 and a 4 for me. More listens will decide which way it falls.

I find the fact that the songwriting has once again become somewhat structured an improvement, but the perfect blend of structure and haze was realized with their first album. As brilliant as the conceptualizations and textures are, I wish they would go back to their original sonic aesthetic, at least in terms of how they mix the songs.
