The music and approach seems deliberately positioned to move away from Clean/ Bats style alt rock and more into experimental ambient soundscapes. Which is bussin and skibidi (and all the other pimply hyperbole) because it allows Robert to stretch creatively.
That said, you can't take The Bats out of the boy so there are a couple of chiming songs that remind me of the band's catchiness (The Moon Upstairs is a good example).
Obviously, his excellent voice remains a touchpoint throughout. While the female vocals (Geva and Rainy) provide terrific harmonies and echoes of Robert's vocal lead.
Where do they all belong? Always keen to build on my Flying Nun collection via Kevy's fantastic knowledge of the label. I probably wouldn't have found this album without his enthusiasm, although I was already a fan of The Bats.
