    Salton Sea feels engineered for eminent listenability.

    It's ambitious, diverse, unique, and tonally and aesthetically complex.

    As a solo artist, Tomas Barfod's a few steps away from achieving sweet and total bliss, but Salton Sea is plenty evidence that every step taken in the future will be worth documenting.

    The vision of Southern California terrain Barfod molds in Salton Sea seems strangely undead and haunting even at its most jubilant moments, creating a chilling sense of something epic and part-human.

    This is the closest thing you'll get to an aural Scandinavian spa.

    Salton Sea is good, but ultimately doesn't leave as strong an impression as it intends.
