Groovy and quirky, pretty much what I wanted to see in this second volume
Whilst a decent enough album in itself, Ambiguous Desire feels a bit underwhelming and flat given my expectations following Collapsed in Sunbeams
Just really not feeling it with this album, which is a shame as I usually enjoy Thundercat! There are some really solid moments in the early section of the album, and the whole thing is really well produced as you'd expect - but outside of a few tracks the whole thing felt bland and quite superficial, with very little content of note to actually keep me engaged! The whole second half felt like it dragged on for ever and wasn't all that enjoyable.
There's just something about this genre in 2025 that's special - this album is yet another gorgeous example of how beautiful music can be! Pale Song is a masterpiece - and the rest of the album, whilst not quite as magnificent, is still a lovely listen too!
There are some really promising elements and moments in this EP, and at its best I think it's a really enjoyable listen. My biggest issue with this EP though is that these moments are only occasional, and otherwise this is a pretty rough and messy release. The vocals in the first few tracks really didn't work well for me either, but this improved when they settled down into a more coherent and consistent sound in the back half of the EP
A really solid album with a solid variety of sounds and ideas. It's missing a bit of refinement for me to make it a really good album, but this is a solid listen for sure that serves as a great introduction for me to the band!
A confident record that unfortunately fails to reach the heights it aims for - it's not a bad album by any means though
A beautiful rich collection of tracks that holds an authentic Irish feel to them, with a tickling of post punk scattered throughout.
Jumping on the hype train - this isn't as mesmerising as their KEXP performance but is still a really cool and fun listen
A really enjoyable listen that is both consistent and fresh, although perhaps lacking slightly in some aspects which in turn holds it back from being brilliant
Consistently decent, but does nothing insanely memorable to bring me back again
Intensely dramatic, at times to its benefit and occasionally a touch detrimental to the whole listening experience.
A nice collection of pretty standard Misch tracks - if that's what you're looking for then you won't be disappointed
This may feel like a harsh score, but after seeing them perform live this EP just sells them SO short! There's so little energy and passion in this EP that is present in their live performance, it's like a completely different band!
A really strong atmospheric dnb release - I really enjoyed my time listening to this!
