Beautiful new, mostly instrumental seven song, 32.5 minute mini-album, that is both poppy and hypnotic at the same time. The only vocals appear on the title track, with Andrew pleading for a departed one to "Come back to Chicago, City of Light." Bird builds five of the remaining tracks up from simple layered loops in the manner which we've all come to take for granted, but each song is really a small wonder of fragile beauty and joy. Aside from the title cut, my highlight is the stretched out 8:15 last track that grows from a tiny, fractured seed into an extended song cycle of pleading, lead violin that seems to float over the almost Krautrock bed tracks like a hummingbird in a field of salvia before dissolving again. Lovely and trippy.
