I think. The drums lack the punch I associate with this dreamy breed of indie-rock and the guitar riff in the intro is not developed nearly enough to go on for as long as it does. However when this song get's going it really get's going. Reminiscent of Sam Rays project with it's heavily reverbed vocals, lofi ambient sounds and stringscapes that swirl around you. A beautiful exciting debut from With Purpose but one that leaves room for improvement and a little to be desired.
