Like a steady-paced Explosions in the Sky song with backup vocals by Palmistry, Lilith’s “Junji” is gradual and earned in musician ship. Slow-climax of vocals to soaring lyrics, harmonized asymmetrical with found-sound conversation, “Junji” exerts real-time feels and deep-cut emoticon. For fans of walking alone at night while sulking.
“Saturn” is the frozen feeling of gliding through the plant’s rings. Soft enough it’s rough and the space dust vibrates in patterns off the speaker’s circular shape. Not lofi, but intentionally smoothed: just before the lacquer, right after being sanded, “Saturn” is equal parts hushed-romance and painstaking heartache.
