5 stars Top album of 2022 so far, for me

Well, this is an interesting album, right when I was ready to write off 2022 as vastly inferior to the amazing offerings throughout 2021.

Brufordfreak nailed all the main points and comparisons/references that I would make and I don't want to read like a copy cat, so I will keep this brief.

This album is one of those special ones that demands your attention to really "get", but one that also sucks your attention back in, frequently, if your mind happens to wander. It is a really good "deep listen" album, with amazing atmospherics, a touch of melecholic pop, wonderful vocals that flirt with being too pretty, but never cross that line. The melodies are well-interwoven into a wonderful tapestry of sound. It's spacy and dreamy and....just right. "Sacrifice in Vain" is the track that makes takes this album to a 5 start rating. The PC/SW-like, harmonized vocals that explode into bliss at 7:30 are heavenly.

I'm hoping that this is a good sign that 2022 will start to deliver. If it doesn't, at least there is this brilliant gem.
