I didn’t care for the Tom Lehrer cover that much, but the first track is one of the best songs Travis has ever made.
I expected to dislike this one based on my impression of the first minute or so, but it really enthralled me (as I’ve come to expect from most BoH projects).
Some incredible ambient work here along with a handful of relatively forgettable tracks.
Most of quadeca’s singles grow on me as a part of a full album, so maybe that will be the case here too, but this song sounds pretty messy with weak lyricism by the standards of his previous 3 albums. It’s also too short.

Certainly worth a listen tho
Very very strong first half, but I don’t care for many of the tracks in the second half.
