The arrangement is as lush as ever and Taylor Hyde, Georia Ellery and May Kershaw are phenomenal vocalists. Excited to continue observing the evolution of their sound.

to my ears, this is the most clumsy development trajectory that I've ever seen a band take. from the promising beginnings ("Sunglasses" and majority of their debut album) through personal changes to this baroque pop pretentious drivel. I tried listening to it, but it had similar effect on me as the infamous Hungarian Suicide Song, so I rather went outside and looked at the trees, which I found way more entertaining. (mind, I'm allergic)
