3 stars This is definitely my favourite of the electronic oriented ORL albums from what I've heard so far, largely for the way that it approaches everything with a bit more caution and elegance than his other material from this era without sacrificing its experimental edge. These chaotic, atonal screeches of distortion are balanced by a very melancholic tone yet again, only this time the compositions have a bit more life to them, evoking a lot of vibes that are rather similar to something you'd hear in The Mars Volta, just once again put through the surreal lens of Omar being the only one touching these tracks. The drums also help add to this all, with songs like Sea is Rising especially benefitting from slightly more basic musical elements. Overall just a very solid time, would definitely be cool for those who were big fans of Noctourniquet especially, since this similarly plays around with some pretty ugly ideas in more accessible ways than one might expect.
