With each spin the album opens up a little more, the lyrics and arrangements unfurl a bit more. While the arrangements are typically understated, I feel like it works to great effect and reflects the uncertainty and anxiety that the lyrics of this album emanate. The cynical and biting humor in the lyrics of Moviegoer bring light and details to a song that could otherwise be drab. The pounding chorus of Love, Try Not To Let Go creates a palpable sense of anxiety, which releases as the song shifts back to its cool, plodding groove. The album does have its missteps like the ballad Too In Love To Die which drags on feeling exceptionally slow following the vibrant I Was Neon and a little flat as it does not reach the emotional peaks of its followup Less of A Stranger. Maybe the themes just resonate with me and the emotional connection I feel to them has upped my rating, but I'm buying what Julia is selling.

When 2019?a ?Crushing? came out I was pretty lost on why people were raving about Julia?s music. However now on her 3rd album, I fully understand the appeal. If you liked a lot of the indie folk singer/songwriter stuff that came out a few years ago like Phoebe Bridgers, Claire?s latest album, Lucy Dacus, and of course the somber queen herself Lana Del Rey then you will really enjoy this album. The middle of the album is a small dip in quality but overall it?s a gloomy indie project that puts you into that anxious state of the unknown.
