What we noticed

  • The first track serves as an intro, setting a bright and energetic tone that carries through the subsequent songs.
  • Each song maintains a consistent mid-tempo pace, with layered harmonies and playful instrumentation throughout.
  • The final track is an instrumental version of 'Hwi hwi', which allows listeners to appreciate the production without vocals.

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.
