Oddnesse are single-handedly creating their own brand of capricious Baroque-pop
The duo detail nonchalant emotional excavations on "Are You Down".
A song that exists to convey the “laid-back anticipation of a lover” and the preference to “sink in and explore the depths of all things” can be firmly placed in the realm of ostentatious pop music. ‘Are You Down’s obvious Lana Del Rey tendencies within the vocal melodies and Zero 7 overtures reinforce the superfluous nature of the duo but fortunately, the song's production keeps it in line, grounding the floaty pop anthem with crash cymbals and dark grooves.
