Awesome chill electronic. Pleasing stuff that borders on indie rock in a musical/song sense. Great cover of the Go Go’s “Our Lips Are Sealed". For fans of Ninja Tune and Sub Pop alike.

1) (5:05) quiet start, mid chill dreamy electro with sample voiceover about leaving “planet earth”
2) (10:36) chill spiritualized organs to start, and builds to epic’ness, false endings, w/ guits, drums, kitchen sink
3) (4:39) slower waltz, soaring guit melodies, instrumental
4) (6:25) female vocs, great cover of Go Go’s “Our Lips Are Sealed”, slow and electro drugged out but you can really make out the lyrics nicely, great song
5) (4:59) chill Spiritualized feel, bright, instrumental w/ guitar arpeggios dominating
6) (4:55) chill ocean sounds intro, chill synths build in an early Pink Floyd manner w/ elect guit and drums slowly fading in
7) (2:56) downtempo jazzy, w/ trumpet, a la Amon Tobin or early Ninja Tune, instrumental
8) (6:25) mid paced piano, then false ending after ~2:30, then very chill electronics w/trumpet
9) (8:11) female vocals in front, very chill and pretty, swirling electronics
