It’s his best EP because it’s his most "honest." It takes the shimmering aquatic vibes of his debut and adds a layer of real-world observation that makes it feel lived-in. It’s the ultimate "decent" listen that stays in your head long after it’s over.
Bleach Beach is the sound of the gritty, salt-stained pier. Technically his first "collection" of songs, it’s a fascinating, raw look at Ryan Kaiser before he fully polished the "Yot Club" persona.
Nature Machine is the definition of a "solid 7/10" EP. It’s undeniably "decent" and keeps the Yot Club streak of relaxing vibes alive, but it lacks the lightning-in-a-bottle magic found on Aquarium or Bipolar.
