Pleasant summery chill-wave dream pop. Think reverb, languorous vocals, and extended guitar segments. At times it seems almost a little too steeped in reverb, never able to pick up and surprise. I have to say though the band does a good job of creating a shimmering and layered wash of sound. No FCCs.

1. (3:30) Manipulated sampled vocals from a guided meditation tape, then kicks in with a hip hop-ish drums and layers of reverb and ambience. Cool.
2. (3:11) * Nice mid-tempo sunny pop song. Builds momentum with cool beat and longing vocals. Probably my favorite track on here.
3. (5:38) * Laid back and beachy with echo laden vocals. Long guitar jam at the end.
4. (0:55) Short wordless outro to the album. Repeated "oh"s and a slight clanging beat
