| 4.0 excellent | Bedex | February 14th 20 |
A collection of sweet sweet vaguely pygmy lushesque indie rock tunes that I just wish went a step further and got a touch more intense here and there, but still is of very consistent quality overall. Not a single bad track and a myriad of jams. 1 just passes and feels fairly inoffensive, but don't be fooled the record has much rocker (5,7) or catchier moments (2 and the closer which stands out quite abruptly from the rest with its funky riff but in an actually nice way to conclude the album in a fun manner). I don't know if I am tainted by hearing this on Feb 14th, but this feels like indie summer tunes to jam in a pick up truck with your gf in the midwest. The only exceptions being 8 which gives me a Christmassy vibe for some reason, and 9 which feels like a romantic ballad and whose weak end is perhaps the lowest point of the record while being still fine. Solid record, worth a check and probably will stick in my library. 3.85

| 4.0 excellent | didnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | August 21st 21 |
Several surprising factors are at play here. One being that Sputnik still unfairly does not recognise slowcore as a tag (but I doubt it'll ever recognise even more widespread genres) and second that this album that evokes chilling wintertime melancholy comes from a Californian band. I don't know if by stroke of luck or genuine talent they've created a thoroughly electrifying album. So blunt in all its subtlety and straightforward approach, and so heavy in its quiet and disquieting themes.
