    Most original band I've heard in a long time. Also they use negative space like a master painter or photographer would. Extremely rythmic and tuneful all at once.

    The chemistry between the members of Rahim is quite apparent from the beginning to the end of the album.

    Once through, we realize Ideal Lives does not feel unified, which is exactly what makes it so interesting but also so difficult to fully embrace.

    What makes Rahim unique isn't their overall style; it's the tiny yet indispensable songwriting flourishes that lodge obdurately in the memory.
