rip chrysalis is such an improvement over metalepsis. not only is it much more interesting, mixing avant-folk with more electronic production, but it's more enjoyable as a result. it cements eartheater's sound as being really, really dreamy and hypnotizing, and that's great. "humyn hymn," "mask therapy," and "petal head" are standouts, but so is the rest of the album.
