CRITIC REVIEWS

The boundless debut from the London-based artist is a delirious tug of war between pleasure and unease, shuttling between club sounds and psychedelic mind states with a steely, unbridled intensity.

This is a sonically rich album that confirms Aya’s place at the forefront of cutting edge electronic music and promises a future filled with left-turns and intrigue.
There’s a fine line between experimental music that’s actually good and stuff that sounds like it’s trying too hard to be edgy. This is on that line, crossing it at certain points. I liked a few songs on here but other than that it didn’t stand out to me. Maybe I just haven’t unlocked this level of pretentious music taste yet.
