It?s tough to call an album like this awkward based on the heavy amount of no wave and post-punk influences an album like this has. On the surface, the instrumentals and ideas are all there and coming together quite well, but the vocals over it need a lot of work for some reason. The RnB-ish vocal delivery is extremely cool for the genres mentioned above but something about how it all comes together is just, awkward. With more time I think the band will come through with something great but for now, we get an average release.
