Dramatically shifting and evolving over the course of the album, the sounds strike a deft balance between organic and electronic, dissonant and harmonious, all the while capturing the elusive, abstract emotions of the lyrics. While there are moments here and there that may spark a memory of 60s and 70s psychedelic rock or 80s synth-pop, a hint of Nilsson-esque bar-room piano, Faust-ian analog synths, or delicate strings a la Talk Talk, this is music with eyes gazing into the future.
