How this album is not a staple in music blows me away

Basically what SilverWalrus said, this is straight-fire. Glitchgaze with a bit of acoustic guitar from here and there goes a long way.

In my Top 100, I love this!

If you're looking for a dreamy mix of Glitch and Shoegaze with Stereolab vibes, not only is this the best but probably the only answer. One of my favorite and one of the most unique shoegaze albums ever made, although at times I do feel trepidation about calling it such. It's got a lot of Mum vibes in the more ambient parts as far as just being really dreamy electronic though, and it does kick into some very MBV-esque moments, so I think it qualifies. I'd implore anyone who's ever enjoyed a shoegaze album to check it out, because it really is one of the most bright, refreshing albums to come from the genre.
