    This album really deserves higher than a 65 rating. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but the technical wizardry and songcraft on display here are simply stunning.

    Like many other shimmering electro acts this year but each song has it's own pretty piece to it.

    Because the album is so continuously lush and candy-coated with a shoegaze gleam, no particular song really sticks out. Instead, hooks surface slowly from the electro-wash, rewarding repeated listens.

    Moondagger is a tune-rich excursion into lo-fi romanticism, with 'Parallelogram’s' multitracked vocals harmonizing over a groundswell of glockenspiels sharing DNA with Animal Collective.

    It's accomplished and impressive always, but sometimes to the point of verging on an overstuffed din.
