SELECTED PRESS
CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
“…sounds futuristic yet warm and familiar, born out of a world that’s similar but not quite identical to our own.”
STEREOGUM
“…a retro-futuristic synth ballad with a tender heart. Building on a synthetic foundation, they rely on the vulnerability of lead singer Jessie Daley’s lyrics to lend human elements to the sleek tonal palate.”
BULLETT
“…plays with droning, ethereal synths, easy-listening melodies and smart, wistful storytelling…packed with optimistic production and Daley’s bright, delicate vocals. At once colorful and dark, moody and approachable, and pixelated yet smooth.”
THE STAR TRIBUNE
“the lush-toned song… starts out light and poppy but turns darker and thicker as Daley sings, “Love can grow so cold.” It’d easily fit in between a new Chvrches song and an old Everything But the Girl classic on a playlist.”
