Bouncy, sunny dancehouse synth pop from Ireland. Layered, catchy, and upbeat throughout, with stylishly emasculated tenor vox, prominent vocoder, and a frequently metallic timbre. Very similar feel throughout, though best when thickly layered.

FCC clean. Picks: 1, 2,12,13,(5)
*1. 2:39 - Whirring pop, great build.
*2. 2:01 - Higher energy. Thick pop rock.
3. 2:23 - Bouncy melodic vamps.
4. 2:04 - Close and electronic.
5. 2:22 - Innocent, spacious pop, with thicker refrains.
6. 2:06 - Gentle anthem with distorted robot-rock refrains.
7. 3:37 - Soft acoustic opening to sweetly layered, childlike pop. False ending at 2:51.
8. 2:22 - Thick, soft-edged electropop with catchy mid/high energy refrains
9. 2:22 - Nintento bloop intro into rough, sometimes creaky synth pop
10. 2:35 - Lower energy twee ballad. Repetitive.
11. 2:00 - Higher energy vocoder rock ditty.
*12. 2:16 - Earnest and roughly shimmering. Hints at '80s synth pop. Lyrics by Ash's Tim Wheeler.
*13. 2:44 - Layered and synth-heavy. Synth vox trades off with lead for nice effect.
14. 3:27 - Sweetly glistening closer; builds anthemically. 19-sec outro.
