When you see overlaid images of ladies on an album cover you know what you're in for in 2014: ladies singing over ethereal instrumentation. This at least takes it a step farther: even the singing is rendered ethereal, voices coming and going at wildly different volumes and spatial velocities, so that it's often not so much a duet or harmony or chorus, but a series of ghostly presences wheeling about eachother.
And it kind of works. And at least someone's trying to nudge this staid genre a notch. It wears out its welcome and disappears into itself by the end, but at least you've got atmosphere, rolling bass, and some glimmer of innovation to warm yourself by while you slip away 3/5
