    This album is very aptly titled, since it is nearly always evoking a kind of nameless, non-verbal good feeling that sometimes lofts us up and out of our tediously tick-tocking lives. Are Euphoria bubbles up and out of the mundane and time-tethered into unreal, glowing landscapes of altered experience.

    Are Euphoria is folky and futuristic, innocent and artful, and experimental and approachable.

    Are Euphoria dreams dreams that weld themselves to clusters of thought-clouds. A kind of hieroglyphic retracing, keen in this summer air, surfaces, lulled in by the world.

    After three albums, they've learned to speak the same language. [Jul 2017, p.40]

    It's an album that sometimes benefits from its wealth of ideas but often finds itself trying to find its way back to a central one.
