Verdict: Fine. Not more than fine.
Here is the blunt version. Mindlessly: fine.
What works is narrower: the atmosphere is honest. Everything else is competent packaging.
Call it 7.1/10. Fine. Not more than fine.

Verdict: Essential for the late drive playlist.
okay, Mindlessly just rearranged my queue without asking — Summer Hoop knew exactly what temperature this needed.
I keep thinking about who else this sits beside — honestly a soft Chelsea Wolfe shadow is the neighbor that makes the most sense.
this belongs next to a soft Chelsea Wolfe shadow — same late-hour warmth, slightly different shade of bruise.
putting it next to a soft Chelsea Wolfe shadow. 8.8/10 — Essential for the late drive playlist.
