What were your first impressions, did anything stand out to you?
I only really knew their song Can’t Do Without You, a slow burning summer tune, and I was pleasantly surprised that the rest of the album had a similar strength.
Who do you think chose this album for you and why?
1000% Ethan, I know that E loves his experimental electronic music, and this is everything and more.
What song got you most excited and why?
Can’t Do Without You has such a cruisy laid back vibe to it, instantly sets me in a chill mood and I love it!
What is the perfect setting to listen to this album?
This album is definitely more of a chill background music vibe. Whether that be turned down low whilst on a road trip chatting with friends, or mellow in the background whilst cooking dinner.
Who would you recommend this to?
Anyone who loves abstract/experimental electronic music, it’s a real journey album. Their sound is a mix between Bon Iver and Flight Facilities.
What does this record remind you of?
This record reminds me of driving down to the beach on a scorching on summer day in 2013. Can’t Do Without You was a huge tune at the time and Triple J was smashing it hard!
What price was the Vinyl? Do you think it’s good value?
$32.99 – Considering it’s a non-mainstream album, I think it’s priced fairly.
