I quite dif the art i confess. Early on I had hope this could be incredibly better than the EP.
For they did do a style shift with this, with much more electronic production occasionally
bordering on RnB and pop, and with a pretty complete absence of the awful harsh vocals. And the
start is great, with a really nice lush intro track transitioning ultra smoothly into 2 that has
a lovely entry too. Sadly, you already then see that, while perhaps less insufferable, the vocals
have retained a lot of their post-hxc DGD circa survive etc DNA. Perhaps not so much
stylistically, but definitely melodically - and that is my main gripe with the album actually,
the melodies feel so recycled the farther you go. It's a shame becaause instrumentally this is
kind of cool as shown by 3 or the super electronic 4, at which point i still had some hope, but
then completely random and out of place rapping comes out of nowhere to confirm this is not going
to be great.It comes back often too, ruining perhaps four or five tracks, and taking the role of
the harsh vocals on the EP. Still, despite all this, this might have looked at a low 3.0 sort of
rating, because the mix of influences, while questionable, is rather unique, and being the
electronic instrumentation is largely more interesting that the cool but seen before post hxc
instrumentation of the EP, but the length and fatigue on this just make it an album I cant
decently rate more than a 2.7

They really jumped into the pop sound mixed with the psychedelic elements on their EP, and it works fantastically.

It's rare music makes me cringe, but this is cringe music.

The debut four-piece Atlantia based band comes through with the greatest psychedelic rock and swancore album that I have been patiently waiting for the last four years. Ever since Stolas and Sianvar, in 2017, came out with what would be both of their last records, both of them saw the creation of this psychedelic meld with math rock and post-hardcore. However, both of them had huge glaring issues of not really coming off right. From there several other artists have attempted this sound (most recently Nova Charisma) but no one could figure out the sound. In comes, a band who started out in the typical swancore scene, but drastically switched with their debut album, and this baby is packed full of psychedelic ragers that any fan of Glass Animals or Dance Gavin Dance will be pleased. Honestly, the only negative I have is that things are a bit one dimensional after a while. But damn do they execute this sound with such swagger and style; task a listen!

Haven't seen a band change their sound this drastically and pull it off so well. This is a really good album.
