Review

With "i only remember the good parts," Orchid Mantis crafts an ethereal expanse, where melancholy and memory collide in a whispered reverie. This is an album that embodies the fleeting nature of nostalgia, wherein guitars drift like Polaroids, wavering between reality and the realm of reverie. The instrumentation is spectral, while vocals hover on the precipice of sleep, blurring the lines between what's real and what's but a dream.

The tracks, such as "another life" featuring Sign Crushes Motorist and "it all feels so far away," are a study in contrasts, oscillating between glacial pacing and erratic textures. With distorted guitars and warped four-track hiss, the songs momentarily coalesce into ephemeral moments of beauty, leaving the listener yearning for more. The restraint of the album mirrors the elusive quality of nostalgia itself, its sparse arrangements and unresolved melodies whispering a quiet ache that lingers after the final note. - Akira
