Madeline Johnston (i.e., Midwife) and the three-man Vyva Melinkolya come together to produce a thick and atmospheric slowcore record. Although much of what is presented here has a hard time sticking out from their past releases, let alone the huge Grouper influence, there is still a lighthearted, yet heavy, charm to how everything comes together. Harrowing vocals over hazy and noisy guitars allow for a constant at-edge feeling. Overall, not a band album, but has a hard time standing out from others, plus it?s not all that memorable the more you listen to it.
