80
Not doing a full on review for this one, but it’s absolutely great! Dazzling dream-pop with a very nostalgic 90s touch. The production is very ethereal with hints of shoegaze and dance pop, and Hatchie clearly has an amazing ear for melody, there are plenty of catchy tunes in here. I’d say the only thing that holds it back from being truly amazing is the fact that it’s not super original and the more lowkey moments didn’t do much for me, but the overall atmosphere that this record creates is absolutely stunning and enchanting. Would recommend the opening track “Lights On”, which is a phenomenal pop song (that post chorus… my GOD), and if you prefer something less upbeat listen to “Twin”, a very gorgeous ballad. I also love the album artwork lol, one of my favorite of the year so far.

it sounds nice if you put it that way, but to me in just sounded really boring

I agree that it doesn't sound very original, I feel like after more listens to nostalgic feeling will disappear and the realization of how dull and uncreative it is will take over
