The highlight of the EP is the song “Ghosts”. The track is a perfect blend of infectious synth-pop and anthemic rock. The track also is an important narration on climate change and how that can lead to “missed connections while one’s known world disappears into the rearview”. The music video is an animated gem that mirrors the story perfectly, leading to a captivating watch. Track “I Gotta Love” features soulful and penetrating vocals, reverb rich guitars, and evocative bass. The mix of polished production and rock grit gives the track a sense of both gloss and edge — a slick, yet dangerous appeal. ” The title track is a moody folky gem filled with sullen guitars, warm and rich vocals and a hook that sticks in the listener’s head even when the music has stopped playing.
