New beabadoobee is pleasant enough, just not particularly gripping. "Sun Has Set" (one of the better songs here) is a great example - lovely little nods to Mid-West emo, but its just missing bite. Too polite, not enough catharsis. That said the closer "Satellite" is great! Kinda soars in the chorus not too dissimilarly to the best Deftones ballads (helps Chino Moreno is on background vocals!).
