Comments: This is a pretty good synthpop/electronica debut, sort of reminds me of a slower, more downtempo version of Chvrches. Maybe. My attention was piqued with “Poison”; up to that it had been okay, but after that the album just got more and more solid and interesting. The cello accompaniment to “Orphan” is haunting and beautiful. Do a good version of Randy Crawford's “One day I'll fly away”, too. Great orchestral arrangement. Superb.
Intention: Watch them: they will be big in 2017. Seems their videos already gained twenty million views before the album was released! Sounds hard to believe. Or not.
