Apple should honestly use Moon in an advertisement for their next iPad. Jokes aside, this is a solid EP. I like the funky sound, it's quite different from most music I listen to. The production is well done, and it's pretty fun overall. My only gripe is some of the songs sound a bit samey at times, but for a debut EP that's more than forgivable. I'm interested in seeing what comes next for O.
I just found SnowyFighter's message. And I say this album is a really solid start for Midnight Session. The production is on-point, the vocals are good too.

I’ll be honest, I was almost turned off by this sound, but it quickly grew on me, and I soon realized this wasn’t too far fetched.
The singing and overall sound of ÁTTA is beautiful, emotional, and ... read more
It seems Swans is going back to The Great Annihilator with this one. I'll be honest it's not their most exciting song. Though it leaves me wondering what the rest of this album will be like.
This track is surprisingly cool despite the genre it's in. I love the drumming especially. Might be my favorite from Coileight.
