Polished synth-pop with a cosmic glow. Shimmering arpeggios and ethereal vocals replace the band's earlier lo-fi fuzz with a lush, hi-fi clarity.

It's like their early stuff but they finally turned the lights on and bought some amazing vintage synths.

A shimmering, wide-eyed optimism filtered through layers of nostalgic synth-pop.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The title track's opening synth swell that feels like a curtain rising on a Technicolor dream

The driving, insistent bassline of I Took Your Picture that anchors the airy vocal delivery

The haunting, slowed-down beauty of Gilded Lily closing the album with a sense of finality
