The seven song effort shows that corook is not a one-hit-wonder with the release of their insanely viral track “if i were a fish (ft. Olivia Barton)” earlier this year. The EP is drenched in the same adorable and earnest blanket of comfort that their most popular track had. However, the other six songs expand on crooks ability to explore different sonic landscapes and more melancholy themes. They pull at your heart strings in the most beautiful and honest way. “‘serious person part 1’ is the… Read more »

Certainly nothing wrong with that, but blessthefall have stuck… Read more »
