it can all be overwhelming

Elijah Who

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the drums on 'safety' feel like a heartbeat muffled by layers of wool and distance.
The sudden, poignant clarity of the spoken sample on 'if i had anything to say, it's gone by now' that cuts through the tape hiss.
The shimmering, slightly out-of-tune synth melody on 'light leaks' that mimics the visual of sun hitting a lens.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does it can all be overwhelming sound next to the rest of Elijah Who's catalogue?
