I wasn’t sure what to expect when I was contemplating on listening to Senior. I knew it wasn’t going to be anything like Junior,  I’d been informed it was a much darker album that was less ‘pop-friendly.’ That’s exactly what I found, an album that is an amazing journey through different sounds, but at the same time pretty difficult to access. The album is instrumental only and most of the tracks lack an identifiable beat, often drifting into peaceful ambient music. I did really enjoy, and do recommend taking the journey.
