while shoegaze is an extremely bloated genre, these tracks offer something i'd say is pretty substantive and worthwile. really nice stuff here
one of the best shoegaze albums of the year
really quite lovely. great structure and really nice highpoints. all around really solid ❤❤

i do think the drums could use some adjustment across this entire thing, otherwise impressive vibe
nostalgic for what lmao this guys stans are on another level of unreal
wish it was longer. maybe a little more fleshed out ideas wise. pretty fun though
dude what is up with the scores
very lovely little project, incredible quality and versatility in both vocals and production across this. really impressive stuff

On favvs - Isolation
"@Toxikwaltz18 If you've heard any AI music before it all has underlying common traits. The instrumental melodies are very rudimentary and generally fall in the same range sonically. The vocals sound horrific, over processed, and genuinely not even real. The lyrics are effectively what you'd expect a computer to say given the title of each track; also just exceptionally poor quality and a total lack of soul or creativity in any facet. It's very blatantly obviously AI and it will likely be removed from Spotify soon, as almost all of their other music has already been removed for being AI."
