  I have never been a particularly big fan of Lattimore's stuff but I enjoyed this album well enough.

  It's not that I think her music is bad; it has generally felt a bit overly precious to me, but I can understand what is good about it. Here, though, I found that those aspects of her work are tempered by having Julianna Barwick along for the ride, as well as by the additional instrumentation. "Stardust" is standout for me, with its opening synth washes that are almost reminiscent of "1984".

  Overall, this album probably remains in the "Not for me" bucket, but it's not bad. If you're looking for some early-morning listening at the far, ethereal end of dream pop, it is worth checking out.
