The debut album from Portland, Oregon-based indie folk duo Babehoven
The warmth of indie folk and whispery ambient pop give a soft impression, but as you listen, there is also a sense of loneliness and uncertainty within the pop. However, this seems to capture the essence of the universal emotional fluctuations that all humans experience.
The music is minimalist, with a floating feeling that highlights the shoegaze melodies. It's a comfortable album to listen to.
What's even more intriguing than the contents is the cover. I don't know the exact intention behind it, but it seems to strongly reflect the fact that shoegaze is a revival of 60s psychedelic rock.
The cover design makes it a type that you wouldn't normally pick up, but the psychedelic music inside is filled with warmth and kindness.
