After listening to this album for the first time, we turned to each other and said “I don’t know if anyone else can even attempt to make music after this”. Hiatus Kaiyote seems to be on a quest to make the most mind-blowingly beautiful music the world has ever heard, and they may have achieved that with this album. The subject matter in these songs match the beauty of the intricate instrumentation: there is beauty to be found everywhere, your best friends will find you naturally, the stars in the sky paint a unique picture for us every night, etc. The journey that the Australian group takes the listener on is so vivid and immersive that it feels impossible to listen to one song individually without being reminded of the other moments on the album, the same way you couldn’t watch a specific scene from your favorite movie without considering it in the context of the rest of the story.
