There's a clear issue of pacing with this imo, as it is only 33min long yet takes the luxury of long interludey passages that give the overall feel of a lot of downtime in a music style where the up time is already quite down anyways. The first track is great, and 4 is probably the second highlight; both good tracks to be depressed inside your room when it's nice outside. 2 is a bit like 1 but a lot less convincing imo, then 3 is already an oversparse interlude. I mean 4's also practically instrumental but it's Grouper - Paradise Valley- esque sound makes for a much more compelling piece. 5 starts on a way too long vocal sample followed by many minutes of pretty okay but out of place ambient, and then 6 tries to perk us up with noisier, grittier texture and the return of vocals, but frankly by that point it is already too little too late. 3.3
