Cosmonaut The ruined lighthouse A lantern lit Goodbye Moony Eyed Walrus Large fangy teeth We talked about this If the willow I've been to the hills... See the rest of the song lyrics

    There may not be as many earworms on this release, but they’ve approached it with patience and a finesse that allowed the songs to flourish into deep sonic explorations that leave the listener eager for more.

    Like its predecessor, it's not always the most creatively challenging records--the anodyne "Backtroke," in particular, misses the mark--but what it lacks in artistic merit it usually makes up for in listenability.

    While Dancing at the Blue Lagoon brings Cayucas' shortcomings to the fore, more often than not it's more blandly pleasant than irritating, serving up a watered-down tropical drink of an album that just doesn't connect the way Bigfoot did.

    The album's back half tones it down a bit, though the overarching tropical themes get a bit extreme. [No. 122, p.55]

    Rather than braving the road less traveled, Yudin doubles down on his replication of trite indie rock tropes.
