Across 12 tracks drawn from a similar palette, the record occasionally dissolves into a dream-like haze.

projected into alternative pop, deb never’s album doesn’t really explore musically, but instead searches for comfortable spaces where the fragility of the lyrics can take refuge. it speaks of loneliness and everyday life, with the cello accompanying the emotional tone. meanwhile, dominic fike was hanging around the studio, clairo’s drummer was involved, and there are backing vocals from boylife: a mix of artistic personalities that makes the project an enjoyable listen.

Mostly acts as mellow background music. It's alright
