The second album is here and NAF, after one listen, it's pretty good. "A Stillness" is a great opener, trumped by the single "Hearts Like Ours" - great electropop. The title track "Rolling Waves" is also pretty good, afterwhich there is a duo of songs, Which migh seem familiar. Goodness, "The Mess" runs on the same chords, key and tempo as "Girls Like You" from the first album. That's great, because "Girls" is a great track, but it is somewhat Surprising! (I had to check the 'original' to be sure and They are very similar!) "Grow Old", the longest track on the album, carries this on, but as a "Part 2" at a much slower speed. The second "half" of the album is a little more sombre than the first, but is still great. "What We Want" is an obvious, radio-friendly single choice for the future and "A Small Reunion" at the end builds and builds with strings coming in, as if it's the soundtrack to the end of a film or a documentary, or , I felt whilst listening to it, a funeral.
If you enjoyed the first album, this is slightly more polished and is a great album for lovers of electropop and synth music - well worth buying!
