Strong vibes of a much earlier era to me - that orchestral rock thing which is mostly a thing of the prior century. Back in a Millenial reincarnation. Pretty good stuff, a bit marred by a sense of self-importance. Oh well, mid-late 20s is prime time for taking onesself a bit too seriously so I'll grant that some grace. Off the beaten path and good on them for that.
