Dreamy pop with shoegaze and indie rock vibes. Jay Som borrows some elements from the past using them to support her magical melodic approach and delicate, warming vocals which co-star with a wealth of different guitar approaches. So why is this album, on the whole, excellent? Songwriting, pacing and flow are absolutely on point for the entirety of Everybody Works. The stretch of songs from the opener through (BedHead) is one of the best of recent memory as Jay Som excels in many sonic territories. The dream-like intro (Lipstick Stains), a poppier lead single (The Bus Song), a very mellow dream pop track (Remain), the uptempo rockin' 1 Billion Dogs and tracks that sounds in between all of that with One More Time, Please and Baybee are placed in perfect order to create variation which makes this pleasant for many repeat visits.

Comes off as a conventional Cali-indie singer-songwriter patchwork: the dreamy-jangly gentle, the intimate acoustic, the crunchy power chords+dueling sour solos, the fusion of lo-fi and lush. And while none of it necessarily stuns, all of it is pretty damn amiable. The uber-warmth is steadily winsome, guitar tones are particularly terrific, you get your choice of choice choruses and mini-mantras -- my fave of which promises punctuality, lets light in through the blinds, and helps shape a beautiful finale buildup for the ages. Which, okay sure, stuns.
