Lotta cool ideas. The influences are evident: Sufjan Stevens, but more minimalistic, Jonsi but even more fragile, and basically every indie folk artist, but with synthy layers. These layers are cool per se, but it's pretty clear the record's goal is to impact you with its fragility, not its shiny instrumentation; and while it does work at times, as a whole the album fails to properly create that emotional connection.
