The track seems to centre on not quite feeling right, with some lyrics like \u201cfearing your death at 25\u201d standing out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I can see why <em>IRL<\/em> was the lead single as it\u2019s quite catchy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><em>Godspeed<\/em> is the first song I actually fully enjoyed. The vocal delivery was much better throughout it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><em>Open Season<\/em> and <em>Oh, Completely<\/em> both also catch my ear with their more rocky instrumentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The album isn\u2019t really one for me. I do like how relaxing the instrumentation is throughout but the vocal delivery is quite strained in my opinion. From a struggle to hit the high notes towards the end of <em>Pleasures<\/em>, to the mix of lower and higher notes changing throughout <em>Sleeper (Hit)<\/em>, it just didn\u2019t keep me interested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Though I did prefer <strong>Ed<\/strong>\u2019s lower vocals in the latter half of <em>Sleeper (Hit)<\/em> and during <em>Godspeed<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Instrumentally, the album is great. The mixture of acoustic guitars and synths combine well to create a relaxing yet still entrancing score. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/altcorner.com\/reviews\/review-lowswimmer-godspeed-fantasy\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lowswimmer releases new record Godspeed Fantasy this month!
