Melodi (2021)

"While this decluttering does clear space for Kit Sebastian to bounce around within their influences, working from a stricter blueprint finds the band exhausting any surprises within their instrumental palette all too quickly; seductive in small doses, "Melodi" at times plays like an extended songwriting exercise. “Inertia,” a late-game highlight buoyed by infectiously swaggering horn fanfare, can’t muster enough energy to push past the deja vu, and all the traditional Turkish instrumentation that producer Martin stuffs into penultimate track “Ahenk” isn’t enough to hold your attention. When the creative dam finally bursts on closer “Please Don’t Take This Badly,” a winking, acoustic-guitar-led ballad that ends by accelerating to a thrilling jazzy swirl, you’re left wishing that the band had been more eager to chase those influences across the map."
