Higher than 10% of albums we've rated

The EP showcases solid songwriting and production but lacks standout moments that elevate it beyond its peers.

What we noticed

  • The first track opens with a soft guitar riff that gradually builds in intensity, leading into a full band arrangement by the chorus.
  • Each song features a prominent vocal melody supported by layered harmonies, particularly in the choruses.
  • The EP maintains a consistent mid-tempo pace throughout, with only slight variations in energy between tracks.

Influence 2/10

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
