Ambient is the name of the game, and though Teen Daze hits the mark on a few songs, he falls short on crafting a holistic experience. “Alaska,” the opening song, seems like it’s always ready to lead into something greater, but never does. Not all the songs are lacking, though. The beginning of “Tundra” starts with a minute of droning, but it slowly weaves in different elements to make up for the lackluster beginning. The cerebral offerings in “Flora” and relaxing vibe of “Ice On The Windowsill” are the best this album has to offer. Teen Daze shows a lot of potential on this album, but where certain songs deliver so well, the rest fail to leave any lasting impressions.
