The whole album flows wonderfully and while the vocals have also been paired back, the instrumentation has been amplified. Much of it reminds me of the Lost in Translation soundtrack with its twinkling, new unknown city feel, particularly the aptly-named ‘Okinawa’ and ‘Lakes’. The production is faultless too. Another album to add to the best Irish albums of the year pile.
