Quarterlife Crisis is exactly what it sounds, a quarterlife crisis. I'm not entirely sure what it's supposed to sound like, but according to the album, it sounds pretty damn scary. The album is hauntingly beautiful. The first two tracks start out happy, but the transition from Inevitable to Listen While You Walk starts to sound like you're on your way down the spiral staircase. Tracks like Birthday and Piso Mojado bring out the dark side of this album while the final two tracks sounds like you're running for the light at the end of the tunnel only find out it was just your mind playing tricks on you.
Highly recommended.
This may be I/O's final album, but it definitely isn't Ryan's
last one. Be sure to catch what he's cooking next by visiting his
