This was a really enjoyable album that I will fail to be able to describe. I kept thinking about side two of Abbey Road, with all of its musical variety, mood changes, playfulness, and moments of dreaminess. It’s kind of like that, but from another planet. Maybe it’s more helpful to compare the sound to Coldplay, it is probably on that spectrum — but this is more eccentric and curious and fun. Favorite songs on first listen: “The Spark That Bled.” On second listen, I add “What is the Light” and “Waiting for Superman” and all the other songs. Best unfamiliar album I’ve received in a while, and it’s growing stronger as I sit with it. Either a very solid 4/5 or a 5/5, so I’m choosing the latter.
