My initial thought were that this was going to be very shoegazy after seeing the name of the band and album. I wasn't too far off but the opening track was very dreamlike but definitely felt like just an intro. The second track starts off with some keyboards so let's see where this takes us.
I'm liking this so far. It's almost like a Boards of Canada album so not very shoegazy at all. Wonderful use of spoken word at the end of "Nailed Down". Yorke, you blaze to this a lot don't you?
F*ck I might get stoned to this. OH **** CRUNCHY GUITAR NOW.
I can't place these spoken word segments. The voices sound familiar but I just can't place them.
Lots of interesting textures with the guitar use on "Brink" which I'm liking a lot.
Now we got some poetry up in this bitch. I don't like the poetry, I can tell that the kid really loves what he does and to me that makes the poetry worse. I don't care about your pretty words. Sorry. Get to the music. Oh, here it is...
This is totally one person isn't it? Yup. It is. Just saw that info on the bandcamp page. Gotta say, he's talented as hell. This is some intricate stuff going on here. I'm not sure if I'd listen to this again but it has certainly entertained me. Three tracks left.
"Fixated" has a lot of emotion behind it. Might be my favorite track on the album.
Enjoyed the ambiance of the final track and again, the spoken word.
Good album. I liked it as a soundscape a lot. I may actually revisit this again.
3.5/5
