    Something to Lose is more like a thoughtful early-morning walk through empty city streets. The glistening production and yearning performances don't change too much from song to song, but converge into an album-length mood of reflective bittersweetness.

    Something to Lose is evidence of Better Person committing further to terrain covered on his earlier EP, mining often overlooked musical traditions with obvious enthusiasm and yearning credibility, an effect that is elevated when paired with Goldwasser's expertise.

    In a scene over-stuffed with ‘80s-throwback melancholia, it is Byczkowski’s ambition, scope, and keen sense of melodrama that set Something to Lose apart.

    It is a fun and exceedingly smooth record, evoking visions of glittery Berlin nights. Getting swept away by the tender euphoric highs and yearning romance of Something to Lose is a welcome escape.

    It's a purpose for waking up and a purpose for getting good rest. Better Person is feeling better. The music is pretty good too.
