"If you love Joy Division, there's no doubt in my mind, you'll love this as well. Weird Post-punk with shoegaze elements and creepy and eerie vocals/lyrics. Give it some time to grow on you." Reply

"Love this strategy of having 12 songs that are all good and interesting, performances that are tight and dynamic, and production that's organic and warm and punchy. More artists should try this because it might make their music good." Reply
