This album just floats. I don’t know how else to describe it. Listening to Lazer Guided Melodies feels like being gently pulled out to sea by something warm and benevolent, like the tide wants you to have a nice nap and forget about your obligations. It’s spacey without being sterile, psychedelic without being showy. Every sound feels lovingly placed, each guitar loop or drone or string wash lingering just long enough before melting into the next. I think what got me was how natural the whole thing feels, like the songs aren’t trying to impress you, they’re just there, existing in a kind of sleepy, blissful state. I really love how the tracks bleed into each other, which makes the album feel like a single piece. There’s structure here, but it’s so fluid that you don’t notice the seams. Shine A Light is probably the moment I keep returning to — the way it grows, slowly but surely, from this spaced-out murmur to something almost symphonic is just beautiful. And Run with its lazy, half-conscious groove really caught me off guard the first time. I was expecting something much messier, but this is so precise in its looseness — if that makes sense. For me, Lazer Guided Melodies is about surrender. It’s not an album that demands attention, but it rewards it deeply. I can put it on in the background and let it colour the room, or sit down with headphones and get properly lost. Either way, it always feels like it’s taking me somewhere I need to go
