...venomous heartbeat”—could come off as immature if the song wasn’t delivered with such style.Less straight-forward but just as impressive is “Dorothy’s a Planet.” In constant transformation starting from its acoustic intro, the song is almost unrecognizable by the end, but the build always makes sense and is never rushed or jarring. The psychedelic lyrics—“She’s a person fast at play / She’s a planet on display?...

...Kurstin of the retro-pop duo the Bird and the Bee, the music robs every genre it can in the pursuit of anything that might stick in your ears. There's a klezmer-inspired accordion that morphs into a glossy Abba-worthy chorus on "Never Gonna Happen" and an intro that sounds like an electronic version of "Rawhide" on "Not Fair," all of which succeeds in creating enough of a melodic diversion to make you forget that the songs are split-timed and almost mechanically verse-chorus-verse...

...definitely not sound vomit, but with the exception of several moments of brilliant clarity, most of the album is just a tad too hectic to really serve as anything more than background music.The record kicks off on a great note—despite its cheesy autoharp intro, “Nonpareil of Favor” is a big track. Framed on top of some beautifully repetitive, pounding Sonic Youth fuzz, Barnes begins the album-long musings about his cracking and complicated relationships.
