3.0 goodBedex | March 2nd 20

A perfect example of an album where one little element brings the whole thing down. To me here, it is the male vocals. There is just something about their whispery, falsely sensual delivery that I just dislike and that ruins every track they're in for me. The female vocals are sublime, so when there's both it's kind of ok. Instrumentally the album is sweet trip-hop flavoured indie pop with the occasional neoclassical strings or strings and piano based interlude. 2 and 7 are of the latter kind, both sweet pieces, and the closer is a nice ambient wintery track. 1 already shows what I don't like about the male vox, and I don't even get what it is doing there before the 'Prologue' track. Another example is 9 which gets ruined after a sweet intro. 3 on the other hand is a lovely piece with just the female vocals, and 5 shows the trip-hop flavours this album can display. Full of potential but I can't bring myself to rate this higher than 3.15
