"'Bkt' sets a playful tone, with its musical box opening theme and hollowed out beats. Lackluster describes a landscape with melodic momentary fragments, 'Hiatus' permitting tinder-box harmonies and a lumpy, tannin, heavy brew of beats to accrete. 'Down' seems to enter a parallel David Lynchian world, where Badalamenti has settled on the most pared-down arrangements of his career, troubled by digital interventions. 'N' resolves this dilemma in open-hearted, broadly euphoric fashion, a reconciled and contented mood, which is allowed to subsist inside 'Sizehoay's core. 'The Cluster Theme' dallies with a darker palette again, rotating around a subterranean 4/4 deceptive child's-play keys soften the blow. 'Swamped' delights in roughing the rhythm then smoothing it with those icy melodies once again -- 'Dropouts' rounds up proceedings with Ritalin beats, inhumanly artificially accelerated, drum and ominous bass viewed from the other end of a telescope."
