Sonically, the album advances through moods that bloom towards a blissful notion of self-acceptance, marching through along the way. Breaking away from genres and pigeonholing to create a palette of emotional baggage that gets unpacked as the dark undertones of the album shift to brighter sounds that – while still holding its weight in emotion – are so infectious as if it invites its listeners to dance to their own passing of sorrow. If anything, the grief and bitterness that Takaotubo’s third album provides is balanced in equilibrium by its unabashed hopefulness and optimism. A duality that we could all hold to be better.
