| 3.5 great | Bedex | April 16th 22 |
This album has two clear halves to it. The first, from 1-7, is a really consistent series of tracks that, although on focused listening maybe caps at 3.6, I wouldn't hesitate to play in full if I had a sunny café or dive shop that needed some background music. 1-2 are quite relaxed, 3 is dancier and gets better as it goes, 4 is okay, less convincing but still fine for a background listen. 5 prefaces the second half of hte album being a little more quirky, it's alright here because it is in isolation but yea if I had to drop one track off this first half it would probably be that one. 6 is really nice and truly what I mean by sunny café newspaper reading soundtrack, whilst 7 wears its title of La Playa very fittingly. 8 starts off nicely explosive and more rock even, then unfolds into a quirktrack that kinda reminds of 5 (but I prefer 8). 9-10 are a bit swingey quirky circus dancey and whilst it's fun it's not really my jam, 10 especially getting a bit too quirky and weird for me. 11 starts off kinda like a bop then unfolds into yet another (half French) sung quirktrack like 5 and 8, but this is clearly the best of the three and probably my fave track of this second side of the album. 12, fittingly per its title, is quite swingy, and yea it's okay. I clearly like this second half of hte album less though, not because it's bad but because I rarely enjoy that style unironically, so this drops a couple points. Still fun and strong for a debut - 3.4
