@archie.forde on @__ear_ : âTheir debut album captures the thrill of the party as well as the melancholy of the journey home home. Gentle indie melodies and cloud-rock chords are juxtaposed with laggy breakbeats and purring square-wave basslines. Yaelle and Jonah sing in introverted unison about unrequited love, moving cities and logging out from online life. But as if to offset the vulnerability of their lyrics, ear pepper their songs with samples referencing memes and niche internet culture.â
