    I wouldn't personally recommend the record, but if you want to hear something big and important which will be on everyone's minds for a while, you can't make a better pick than this.

      ¿Por qué? I definitely wouldn't recommend it to people who only ever listen to their pet genre, especially if it's far removed from art/progressive/experimental pop, but I thoroughly enjoyed this album and wouldn't have submitted it if I didn't think people here would also enjoy it (or at least appreciate the artistry involved).

      For me, it's now up there with Holly Herndon's PROTO in terms of albums that I was totally blown away by, and just like after I first heard PROTO, I will likely listen to this on repeat numerous times over the coming months too.

        I have to agree. This album really blew me away and I've already listened to it a few times since it's release.

      shit, really? i'd agree with the 10/10 but there's been so many albums that have been just as good and groundbreaking, if not more so. pitchfork why

    I decided to give this tenner a listen... and it really is a remarkable work. You'll be able to pick out a lot of influences, but the overall work is still so incredibly unique.

    Even if you've never tracked her work, give this album a few focused listens.

    I have always liked her stuff and this is no exception. I'll be going back for multiple listens.
