Yeah, to be fair there is a lot of vocal fry over the album if that’s not your thing and it’s not mine either but I can sort of overlook it here. There’s some lovely use of synths and the instrumental pieces dotted through are great but I have to commend her for the honesty she shows in the lyrics, particularly given the things she’s had to deal with in her life.

Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
