https://athenianaurarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/v I enjoy right away the fact that this album is called " V " because it is the fifth album by Keep Shelly in Athens.  I feel like it's such a blessing every time a new album by Keep Shelly in Athens pops up and this time is no different.  The state of the world right now and specifically the United States is kind of bleak and so I really appreciate that listening to this album can help to make me feel better because it does feel, overall, to be uplifting. While this could easily be described as synth pop because of the amount of keys in here, I also think about how dreamy it is, how it can fall into that -gaze genre and just also how it makes me think of the past as well.   Thinking of artists such as Cyndi Lauper and films such as "Pretty In Pink", Keep Shelly in Athens makes me feel like I'm right back into a time when either the world wasn't such a terrible place or I was just too young and ignora...
