Opener ‘I’m Sorry’ is an indisputable summer jam, full of a sunshiney swagger and effortlessly cool vocals. ‘Girl Of My Dreams’ adds a splash of shoegaze sweetness, with muffled lo-fi drums and aching, pining lyrics about a girl who doesn’t exist. ‘Pipe Dream’ decelerates into a slice of sluggish and slothful pop, while ‘I Don’t See It That Way’ sounds like it’s being played in your neighbour’s basement. ‘You and Me’ shimmers with effects as Eroğlu’s downbeat-but-dreamy vocals snake through the haze. My favourite track is ‘Go’, all strummed acoustic guitars, unhurried percussion and a very languid, surfy electric guitar in the background. It gathers pace in the last third, culminating in a joyous, carefree refrain of:

“I think I’ll go my own way
to the other side
where the grass is green
and the sun will shine
forever”

‘I’m So Needy’ has a laidback tropical vibe, shuffling drums and slacker “oh oh” harmonies, and closer ‘Alphabetical Disorder’ is an alphabet song that isn’t aimed not for the usual target audience of such tunes, a lo-fi rock song with lines such as, “G is for Genocide, H is for hate, I is for idolizing people who are fake”.
