Reviewed 2025-03-19
Pop(-hop) with production a bit warbly, slight detunings here and there. English accent in the male & female vocals. Despite being on Warp not all that warped, it's pop with depression & hope. No FCCs.

1. Sunny, warped guitar, real-sounding drums, fem "aah" vocals
2. M+F spoken/sung lyrics, full synths over drums & fuzz guitar
3. + 80's post-punk guitar/bass/drums & M voc lead, F voc backup, light reverb. Sad and hopeful with pretty bits.
4. Mid-tempo drum machine loop & synths. Dull M guest vocals
5. Catchy piano sample, crisp drum machine with atmospheric synth. Brief track, vocal "I've been waiting on you"
6. +Poppy sleepy morning music. M+F vocals. "Just wake up one day"
7. Clean F+M vocals, bored-sounding spoken verse, sung chorus is fun.
8. +Dreamy. Electric guitar, drums, fem vox, fuzzy synth
9. +Classic simple synth intro, then gentle bass, upbeat drums. Loose. Simple M vocal spoken-sung, happy
