    Forcing a similar style [as heard on All We Grow] through a filter of laptop presets and masked vocals only highlights how those convenient, but more limited, tools require tighter songwriting than Carey musters up on Hoyas.

    There are no real standout tracks, it is a four song EP after all and electronica has a slight tendency to blend into one long reverby track. But as a piece, it moves so softly, so deep and so colourful.

    Great production flourishes dominate, with horns and steady percussion rising out of the mix to provide the listener with an enveloping atmosphere. [No.87, p.53]
