jb's world Yo Dan has such a knack for keeping songs simple, but layered: they become sonic wave pools of vague emotional unrest drowned out through lyrical restraint and distortion petals. Hard to pick a favorite track when there's only three and they're all catchy. Vivid was initially my favorite, But I'm picking Remote, because it's the least obvious—also because as I was between dreaming and waking up this morning, it was deeply stuck in my head, fucking me up. Favorite track: Remote.

My mind's stuck in the clouds I feel so gloomy The sun is hiding out Gave up on shining Shining brightly The end is near The prophet said gladly The end is here I could never be happy

I fall away I won't stay I fall away I refrain from pain I'm falling faster While the world's in laughter
