Style: Experimental ambient
Primary Emotions/Themes: Ever open your eyes and still feel like you are in a dream? This album is the musical equivalent.
Thoughts: The twenty one minutes of this release blur the line between reality and dream. There are moments where the music is as clear as day, everything lines up and there is nothing that sounds out of place. Within moments though that can all break down.
Take a listen to the first few moments of First for a perfect example of this. It's Always Her consists of a reverb laden piano playing what sounds like someone improvising a melody in the background. A woman softly speaks unintelligible words while a bass drop is happening that shakes my entire house. All the while an off speed beat is playing in the background seemingly off in it's own meandering realm.
The very next song consists of several instruments that come in and out of existence at the drop of a hat. They line up perfectly with the beat and it all comes together in a rather groovy fashion. Twelve seconds is what separates these two tracks, and it blows my mind.
The entirety of this EP is filled with enigmatic twists and turns that give my mind a playground to extrapolate meaning from. Or I can sit back and take it all in and let it overwhelm me in it's repeated waves of strangeness and creativity. Either way this album is a trip.
