Eleven tracks of bright, synth-based pop from the Surrey band. Plenty of push and a fair dollop of poilsh on display throughout the set of Sivan's own material. This is a worthwhile tape displaying competence throughout, and a penetrating expression of the Gospel. Something of a sameness, even a paucity of ideas does set in eventually however, and most listeners would find concentration warning. Fuller instrumentation is called for in certain "dead spots"- in fact the set's riddled with a tendency to hollowness. So a mixed bag, promising but not expectionally so.
