Naturally, \u003cem\u003eDreams Are Not Enough\u003c\/em\u003e sports some of the best production I’ve heard all year, with glacial soundscapes and taut synths serving as the murky pedestal for Eustis’ own sugary vocals drifting out of the swamp. “a younger version of myself” is a rare catchy refrain in a sea of unrelenting sound cascades; it’s the album’s most forward-facing *pop* number and, not coincidentally, the one I keep coming back to. The skeletal synthpop of “arms aloft” is the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Ghostly+International\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGhostly\u003c\/a\u003e-est track here, with bleep basslines and a faint techno pulse wrapped in washed out vocals and minor-key drones. Scorched electro cut “not breathing,” choral reverie “mouth agape” and the tempered trap cadences of “standing at the bottom of the ocean” are other high water marks.
