This ensemble calls back to the childhood you experienced, and the childhood you wished you had experienced.  I cannot help but to imagine icy brick streets in Glasgow, Scotland, sunny days with snowy hills, and trees surrounding stone edifices.  This piece of alternative reality is the most serene music I have experienced in a long time. In fact, I have placed it in my CD drive to drown out my tinnitus before several occasions of falling asleep.

 “Wake Up Pretty” rings lowly with the pleasant crescendo of the words “beautiful dreams” wrapped around child-like voices.  Each track segues into the next like a trance album; however, the music only requires the need for you to close your eyes and furrow your eyebrows with a widening smile.  

There is a sudden break in the cycle once “Lists, Plans” assumes its place.  The song suggests that the children are growing into fear.  The song “Panic attacks are what make me, me” is the epitome of this fear, and Glasgow expresses this without the need of any lyrics or popular instrumentation.  Do your mind a favor and find this album. – Crystal Farina
