Siblings Ryann and Kelly Gonsalves found a new freedom while creating this album, setting up a controlled recording environment that allowed them to follow every impulse and make their most fully considered work to date. It’s a prism of different shades of soft-focused brilliance, bleary enough to purposefully obscure its deft construction without ever dulling its impact.

Torrey’s pre-existing foundation of catchy songwriting is emboldened by the limitless approach of the recording sessions. Each song has its own personality, but feels connected to the rest; like a carefully curated playlist. This means the layered guitar tones and smeared vocal harmonies of ‘No Matter How,’ pivot seamlessly into Deal sister-informed tunefulness on the buzzing and clattering ‘Hawaii’ before moving into warped tropical ambience, glacial shoegaze atmospheres, and fuzzy guitar shredding.
