"The production is uniquely rhythmic and layered, the instrumental performances are all pretty bulletproof, and Cameron Winter's writing is just ridiculously good. He is able to show us beauty and despair, and the beauty in despair and the despair in beauty. The best track to me is Islands of Men, which builds over this hypnotic instrumental while Winter sings about isolation and self-illusion. Other highlights would be the title track and Half Real, which feels like a dizzy, intoxicated folk song."
"The Parlour The Liverpudlian rock outfit's debut EP was worth the wait. Singer and front-woman Katherine Parlour has such a distinctive voice and guitarist Ella Risi leads the charge with infectious riffs and ripping solos. With an almost baroque and art-rock feel, the album is both uplifting and nostalgic, with plenty of reflection on the journey which has got this under-appreciated duo (and their backing band) to this point."
Geese's production is rhythmic and layered, with strong instrumental performances and emotionally resonant songs that juxtapose beauty and despair. Islands of Men builds over a hypnotic instrumental while addressing isolation and self-illusion. Half Real evokes a dizzy, intoxicated folk mood. Picture Parlour's debut EP showcases Katherine Parlour's distinctive vocals and Ella Risi's infectious riffs and solos, mixing baroque and art-rock elements with uplifting, nostalgic reflection. Self Esteem pairs honest, humorous, sincere, and despairing lyrics with snarly synths, choral arrangements and stadium-ready hooks; songs such as The Deep Blue Okay and Focus Is Power gain extra drama and impact in live performance.
