Oracular Spectacular
“This is a strange, glittering paradox, both a satire of fame and one of the most instantly accessible indie pop records of its era. It walks a tightrope between irony and sincerity. Songs like Time to Pretend and Kids feel like anthems on the surface, but underneath, they’re quietly disillusioned, sketching out fantasies of youth, success, and excess, only to undercut them with a sense of emptiness. The writing is simple but that’s part of its charm. The album thrives on contrast. Bright synth lines, punchy drum programming, and psychedelic flourishes give it a candy-coated exterior, while the arrangements remain tight and purposeful. The band balances lo-fi indie textures with polished pop instincts, creating songs that are both immediate and slightly off-kilter. Tracks groove effortlessly, while deeper cuts lean more into warped, experimental territory. The album feels less like a narrative and more like a mood piece. It doesn’t fully commit to either satire or sincerity, but that tension is exactly what makes it resonate. It’s not perfect but at its best, it captures lightning in a bottle: a generation dancing to songs that are, quietly, about the illusion of the dance itself. Fav Track Time to Pretend”

Little Dark Age
“Amazing listen. I knew some of the songs from before but I’m so happy that I listened to the whole thing finally. Darkwave pop and super synth. While one song can be super downbeat and ominous, it’s also likey very danceable at the same time. All of these songs give off a bar with heavy red LED lights throughout. Standouts: TSLAMP, Little Dark Age, She works out too much, when you die, one thing left to try, hand it over. The music video for when you die mirrors the near death experience and the chemicals that get released upon using that experience. The brain produces dmt when deprived of oxygen or on the verge of death, and upon the main characters death, the rest of the music video is a trip. My favorite moment of the album is in when you die near the very end. The singers mantras throughout the song are a little more random and chaotic. It feels like he doesn’t want to be saying what he’s saying. There’s a moment of tenderness where he abandons his villainous persona and sadly admits, “I heard you the first time…” amazing listen no bad songs”
