Polo and Pan seem to perpetuate their trope of making long albums with way too few hits and a bit too much barely above background music to fill the rest of the hour. However this one is a classic case of the highs being less high and the lows being less low: it doesn't have a canopee, but it's also rarely unpleasant. I actually bloody love the opener, it is SO Polo and Pan. Sets the mood right. Then 2 is a good idea but with meh execution, whilst 3 is simpler but better packaged, and reveals more depth later on to make for a loads better track. 4 is kinda cool but it is a bit too trappy to transition well with the rest. 5 feels like midday at tomorrowland music, a bit more of a fodder song. 6 and 9 are both long, diverse, fun instrumentals with lots of PnP esque sonic ventures. 7 is a nice chill seaside track, and 8 has a bit of a ltin guitar vibe to it, making this whole section the album highghlight probably. 10 indeed gets kinda slow and boring, reiforcing the feeling that the album is getting long, and indeed by 11 it is feeling long. 12 is kinda weird and out of the blue but works really well at disrupting the monotony, and so 13 does feel boring despite being a very mid regular PnP track thanks to fatigue being alleviated by 12. 14 is a soft song to finish things in an acceptable way, to make for a nicely passable album that feels more consistent than the pprevious ones. Oh and I dig the art on this. 3.4
