Pros:
Lyrical content is incredibly tender and touching, grappling with a loss of innocence in a personal and relatable manner while injecting welcome optimism into otherwise gloomy material
Sustains a consistently intimate, soothing and nuanced atmosphere throughout, bringing in moments of lush layered vocals or subtle additional instrumentation to draw the listener into the album's gorgeous mood
Strongest tracks contain some divine melodic touches and chord changes
Cons:
Lead vocals are certainly an acquired taste, focusing on emotiveness at the cost of some technical clarity
Many tracks lack a distinct musical identity, sometimes meandering in the country/indie sound without a clear non-semantic theme
Best: Donut Seam
Worst: Vampire Empire
7/10 Amazed I don't hate it
