In fact, this album being released on the lo-fi imprint 20kbps is the favourite pop issue from this year. It deals with remembering and interpretation of dreams. In truth, it is a human being's necessity to live in the past because the present is just a second to get immediately disappeared and the future is not available in strict sense. So we are already dead in advance. I see Ariel Pink as the most important musician in the last two decade because his early home recorded lo-fi music could surpass the aforementioned categories of time. As one thoroughly music related person said after in my country he had heard Ariel's music for the first time God (who is beyond everything) started to create (pop) music. There has been just few embodiments of Lord – Ennio Morricone, and Angus Maclise I would like to add. First four albums by Tim Hecker and some albums by Natural Snow Buildings are also bright candidates. Listen to this 10-notch whole get immersed in swathes of soft guitar jangles, subtle vocal arrangements and exquisite synthesised progressions coming over the listener's head. The subject and the object meld together due to timeless sense of melody and harmony. One's perception seems to be otherwise as it was before starting a listen. You have a chance to soften personal existential turnarounds.
