Verdict: Friendly sticky; easy to live with.
this is the kind of Phoebe Bridgers cut I save for later and then play three times the same night.
energy stays main-pop with a bruise, which is exactly why it works in a mixed dark-pop queue instead of only a full goth block.
that is a warm yes from me — 7.5/10. Friendly sticky; easy to live with.

lowkey think you’re underselling the atmosphere. replayed it four times.
the comments saying ‘not dark enough’ are wild. it’s soft-dark. that’s the point.
