Album Review: Haunted Summer - 'Whole'
Updated: May 3, 2023
Los Angeles-based husband and wife duo Haunted Summer (Bridgette Moody and John Seasons) are back with their third full-length titled Whole. Haunted Summer have carved out a nice niche between psych, indie, and dream pop. Never is this more apparent than on Whole. Never leaning too far into one category musically, Haunted Summer's sound exists as an ethereal dreamlike haze for the listener that floats you away. This is perhaps most evidenced midway on the album with its title track.
Towards the end of Whole, Moody and Seasons aim for a more acoustic touch. When this is combined with Moody's vocals, it's a perfect pairing that is relaxing for the listener. Whole is an album that you can simply put on and drift away to. The album ends on a dream pop note with the track "Retrograde" which is a virtual sonic landscape that is so grand in scale. It's interesting to see what the duo is able to achieve with their flexibility on style and genre throughout the album. This is definitely Alt Revue approved music.
Rating - 4/5
The review gives a good sense of what makes the album stand out without giving away too much. I always enjoy reading reviews that focus on the overall atmosphere and listening experience rather than simply listing individual tracks. It also got me thinking about other forms of digital entertainment, including browser games like Quenq Vice City GTA.
Thanks for sharing this helpful information. The points mentioned in the article are presented in a simple way, which makes the content easy to understand. I was also exploring joya 9 and found this discussion relevant to what I was researching.
Really enjoyed this review—it does a great job describing the dreamy atmosphere of the album, and now I'm curious to give it a listen. When I'm in the mood for something a bit more interactive during my free time, I usually play Subway Surfers and it's such a fun, relaxing way to unwind after enjoying music.
I wasn’t expecting much at first, but after using it for some time, I found it surprisingly easy to navigate. The menus were clear and there were no unnecessary distractions. It worked well across different sections and made the experience more enjoyable. For people who value convenience and speed, this could be worth checking out.
