#1459 Lower Dens - Nootropics

One great track here: Brains is brilliant. That swooning structure, that enchanting motorik, like a lost, great gossamer Interpol track, surges dropping in and out, all over that beat, that beat, perfect crafted moments stretched over that beat.

That magic's never captured again though, the rest of the album's lifeless, a Dyson sphere of vocals with the scale of Muse and the emptiness of Coldplay, all go-nowhere ambiance, too-slow beats with washes of nothing, a hungover version of itself looking itself in the mirror, wondering if this is all it's amounted to 2.5/5
