Much a slower direction for Glaive and Kurtains on this one. On first listen, the first half didn't do much for me, but the second half I thought was super excellent. After that initial listen, the album has really grown on me. A lot of slower cuts on this one, introspective, reflective slow songs from both artists on this project. Production wise, its great. Strong variety of electronic influences, indie rock and even folk. Feels entirely unique, not bending to any trends or styles. ... read more

Underscores once again stands out in the space as one of the most talented and interesting artists. While I enjoyed her previous projects, this one is by far my favorite.

Catchy hooks and some of the best production of the year, makes this an unmissable project for me. Highly recommended.
