Basking in the glow

"Like Oso Oso's similarly minded previous album, The Yunahon Mixtape, Basking in the Glow is an album for fans of the courteous yet invigorating style of emo that Death Cab for Cutie and Jimmy Eat World made popular. Oso Oso's latest is a brisk invitation to savour the small stuff, to embrace insecurities, and to hang on to those head-rushing moments".

"The only major aesthetic diversion on basking in the glow comes on "one sick plan," an acoustic performance presented through an intentionally lo-fi style that crackles like a demo and feels like a stick-figure drawing dropped into a pile of Picassos. It's a good song, but an odd production choice.These are minor quibbles, of course, within the context of an otherwise brilliant work. basking in the glow is not only the fulfillment of the promise Lilitri showed on the yunahon mixtape, it's one of the best pop-rock records of 2019. Even without a second chorus on "dig."".

"Best New Music" - "The excellent album from the Long Island singer-songwriter Jade Lilitri is sharp and radiant, a massively catchy guitar record about trying to walk the straight and narrow".
