This album garners pretty polarized opinions from friends I play this to as well. The thing about lo-fi indie is that, although the shared production aesthetic does cultivate a general 'signature' sound to an extent, every band and release is different because of the sheer intimacy such records evoke. Every band is different, and the emotions and themes within each band different. This album, to me, sounds a lot different to the likes of Slanted & Enchanted, Bee Thousand, Twin Infinitives etc bercause of what goes into the music on top of the production.
