Comment: by watching the cover print of this handful of tracks it gets very clear about the intention of this album. The goal of the artist is to conjure up the most lucid imaginations creatively possible. In a tight sense, it is ambient pop being influenced by shoegaze-y impulses. Indeed, it is all about sonic ebbs and tides, how sonic beauty used to appear and fade away. Indeed, the listener may hear sea waves running alongside the coastal line. At times it seems to be even way too transparent and effortless and because of that excluding possible counterpoint of it. So you can find no tension sources from it. Maybe it is good, it might be bad in some sense. The release is a part of the discography of Giant Manilow.
