I played the album twice and skipped a few tracks the third time. I really don't recall anything exciting to write home about the album. "Good but forgettable" isn't what I mean. It's just so subdued that after listening to the album twice there was hardly anything I could recall about the album. There is not much I can think about to say about it.

I don't like to speculate what instruments were used when I am unsure. However on the third untitled track it sounded like someone was frailing a banjo. The the third untitled track is the same length of time as 4'33 by John Cage's. The length of a song coupled with a sound of an instrument* is only the only thing I can recall about the album. (*I'm not saying it was a banjo, it was just reminiscent of the sound of a frailing banjo.)

I think it was a good pick to start off Album Club 2019.
