Review
The first word that pops into my mind when I hear this album is dreamy, which is a perfect description (the genre is literally dream pop). It reminds me of sunsets in the 90's, which is weird because I wasn't alive in the 90's. It reminds me of optimism for society. It feels like you're with your best friends and everything is great, you're having the time of your life, but you know it will end soon. Very good.
Rating:★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
