    It's just a nice solid album.
    Lyrics are decent and fairly original, vocals are often very pretty. Instrumentation is frequently unusual without being showy.
    Unfortunately it feels very Phoebe Bridgers sometimes. This isn't a bad thing in itself, but I have to dock originality points for that.

    Really good indie album from Tomberlin here, I don’t have many complaints except sometimes I am a little bored.

    I don’t know who needs to hear this… finds Tomberlin firmly stood in the language of her own making. She redefines song structure, alluding to the intrinsically mirrored fashion in which life pans out; like life, far beyond the close, these songs continue to spin.

    Every song on IDKNWTHT is strong on its own merit, but when digested as a whole, the album is overwhelming in the best kind of way that stirs the soul.

    The further experimentation of “tap” and the display of raw emotion on “happy accident” prove more successful than i don’t know’s more down tempo moments, even when those mirror the album’s themes more closely.
