Joey Walker - Supersoft

7.3

Just as Perfume Genius, Joey Walker converts twink stereotypes into forceful pieces of art rock that sweat gut, anger but also compassion, introspection and self-deprecation turned into personal bravura.

Highlights

- Lyrics are explicit, in-your-face, but carry enormous sentiments and double entendres.

- Instrumentals get suffocating and airy all at once, as if they were not only fighting but coexisting.

- It's pretty consice; however, it lets itself license to sometimes broaden and indulge.

Lowlights

- Some tracks look like half-baked ideas that could haven been better-developed.

- Lowness can at times narrow down listlessness.

Standouts

- Hollow

- Crater

- On Top
