The opening song Dedication has a cuddly, lofty feel while Supernatural doesn't at all, instead scraping/winding guitars and ooh oohs. Soul Explosion is a single and eventually finds its way to a connective guitar. Stella Heart Ocean catches you with its flickering guitars and seaview lyrics, and the CD really bites into its juicy core with: Powersuit, an easygoing trundle, the continuing balmy vibes of Sweet Lovin?, the popping pulsation and dreamy influences of Angels, and then Hugger of Trees, a restless, rousing apex where their sound opens up, bursts, finds tributaries. Medicice acquires its own bright blend but we are back to the territory of the opening songs. One More City is a cool out song and Kick This Bummer is cooled out and pared down until its final minute flare up. Back To You is the pleasing last gulp of this colorfully flavoured concoction.
