This album is a blast from the past, and not because I haven’t listened to it in over a year, but a lot of little details from this came flooding back. Indietronica and Electropop are genres I’ve only touched with the top of my big toe, as they’re genres I never really found myself terribly interested in. Still, I came across this album, unsure of what kind of music I was into. And honestly, this kind of music isn’t my thing, but I can appreciate the effort put into this. Some of my favorite tracks on here weren’t because of how they sound, surprisingly, as that’s the main thing I look at in a song, but instead it’s the lyrics and message that they provide that makes me like them as much as I do. An example of this is Easier to Love You, which, if you know me, is the polar opposite of what I normally listen to, but it’s the story that sticks out the most. If any of the genres listed pique your interest, I suggest you listen to this album, as I bet you’ll have a more enjoyable experience than I did.
