I was really prepared to love this, to make it the release this year that I would be most annoying about to everyone I know– Toxe's two Boiler Room sessions are among my favorites of all time, and early single Som En Sol was extremely my jam; followups "Pillow Fight" and "Souvenir" slightly less so but I was still looking forward to hearing it all in context.

Unfortunately this doesn't really come together, and plenty of cuts on the full length of the thing just don't really hit for me. "Pillow Fight" ended up being my second-favorite track, if mostly for the piano part that sounds like some kind of "what if Michael Nyman did the soundtrack for Microsoft Encarta"… More
