This entire album has such a loose and unpredictable structure which I really enjoyed. The experimental 80s sounding instruments mesh so well with the guitar, synths and percussion. It creates a swirling psychedelic artwork in my head. Everything about the guitar is perfect, the tones are amazing and the way he plays with so much dynamic range means he can just improvise for so long as other instruments come and go from the spotlight and keep it interesting.
