“swims with otherworldly strings like melted memories, music box melodies like childhood flashbacks, ambient atmospherics like subconscious traumas and glitchy lounge moods like a fractured vision of golden-era Burt Bacharach. O’Brien’s mastery of hallucinatory textures provides further immersion; the ghost-shaped title track culminates in a spoken-word section about seeing angels during meditation and a swirl of voices repeating “the more I know, the more I care” like a Ulysses audiobook. With the real world waiting, you won’t want to wake up.” - Mark Beaumont, NME
