It sounds like a best of album but with all new material, as if their entire career was just some fading dream... I don't want to do anything hasty but I can see myself kicking The Bends out of my all-time top 10 for this. [First added to this chart: 05/16/2016]

She's not unlike Julia Holter but less avant-pop and more electronic ambient.

Dalt's album really struck a chord with me from my first listen but I'm aware we have very different tastes. I also think HTSYBIAA is Future Of The Left's best album so far.
