4.0 excellentBedex | March 9th 21

A humble little album that has lots more to offer than it looks, but suffers a bit from being a) a slow burner b) feeling a lot like an EP (is it one?) with little in the way of context and conclusion. It does have a more readily understandable structure than its predecessor in terms of genres, with an electronic typical Aseul start on 1-2, a dream pop phase on 3-4 (although 4 only maintains a guitar tone and goes back to more electronica), and 5-7 being a series of three synth pop near-bangers near jams. The latter three are really a positive note and some of the best Aseul material yet, lifting this up a point, but the absolutely nonexistent album conclusion keeps it well clear from a 4.0. Whilst 1 is slow to start the album it gets really colourful, but the more relaxed 2 is a bit meh despite being nice and synthy. 3 is the first Aseul track that I'd qualify as properly dream pop. So all in all lots of playlist material, but not a grand album for the ages. 3.9
