Noah Hafford gave us a sample of his pop alternative wisdom with his single "That Way," and I thought that might have been a one-time side project away from his electronic chiptune vibes. Well I'm glad to know that I was wrong! Hafford brings some fantastic sounds that shows his growth as an artist and depth of skill. I love both the early 2000s pop-alternative and the anime-spaceship-chiptune sounds that Hafford creates. All I can say is, please don't make me choose between them!

This EP is a re-recorded sample of their longer first EP, which was full of heart but a bit raw. These songs, however, are strong and well-crafted. Each track begs me to listen to every lyric and feel the effects of every measure. Their honesty, earnestness, and fervor leave a lasting impression and warm my heart with each listen. Not in how they sound, but in how they make me feel, the Collection reminds me of The Avett Brothers' middle albums.
