CosmicJocker’s review of The Sea Swells a Bit... paints Aidan Baker’s solo work as a loop-driven, ever-rising swell that withholds the final crest. Dense drones, jazzy percussive quirks, and shoegaze smears replace Nadja’s heavier approach. The tone is evocative and mythic, yet focused on structure and texture.
