luna park

My first exposure to Ethan Bortnick was when I was doomscrolling, and I came across one of his Omegle videos of him playing the beginning part of hide n seek. The piano solo really interested me and grabbed my attention, so much so that I checked out his EP containing said song. And I thought it was… alright. I have to admit, the first three songs are solid, and what I was expecting coming into this, and REM was an interesting instrumental bridge for the rest of the project, but the last three songs I just did not enjoy as much. I wish I could get myself to like this EP as a whole, but the last couple of songs felt so slow, and at times, I was thinking, “when will the song be over?” If Ethan Bortnick continues with a similar feel as the first 3 songs and maintains the same energy as one of his newer solos, violet / isn’t it great?, you bet I’ll be listening to it.
