this would be the latest in a series of son lux eps to catch up on, and i'm actually not entirely sure what to make of it. the instrumental versions of change is everything are something i'd like to hear in a more developed manner, but these are really just teases - jingles, almost. like, you could imagine them repurposed for underwear commercials - where change is indeed everything.

i'm sorry.

the version of remedy is sort of necessary, but as a bookend; this is the logical conclusion of a bside, but it's a bside, and i think maybe the most pressing question it opens up is why it wasn't on the most recent record, and if it will be on the next one.

as a collection of tracks, it's on the somber and reflective side, which is one of the sides of his work that i like. but, as a cohesive work, it kind of neither starts nor stops, a reality exacerbated by the fact that i've already heard these songs, and these mixes don't really add anything new to any of them.

i think i would appreciate a full record of new material in this style, though.
