On the group's debut album, there is definitely a sense of realization on what they want to finally do with their sound. For the last 10 years, the band has had a bit of an all-over-the-place sound that it is hard to really get into, but they really hone in on an indietronica and folktronica vibe with a lot of alternative rock and hypnogogic pop elements thrown in (also a random hyperpop conclusion). Although the closer is a bit of a random song that feels out of place the other 6 tracks are extremely well written, performed, and produced. Truly great performances across the board and a lot of great energy. The intro track ?Pills & Good Advice? is a 10-minute opus of lots of building and quality instrumentals. A truly great album that needs a better closer and the influences are a bit obvious.
