2nd solo album by Jacob Bellens is a most welcome release being his best album so far, and that includes albums with former bands and collaboration projects including I Got You On Tape, Murder and Goblins. The style is chamber pop with electronic or synthpop influences, perhaps thanks to former Filur member, producer and remixer, Kasper Bjørke. I have listened to many releases featuring Bellens, who has harvested critical acclaim as singer and songwriter, but I have never really felt that his voice was fit for indie rock or neo-psychedelia; however, the chamber pop "disguise" seems much more proper.
