    The songs just don't stick long enough to make more than an impression in the pillow.

    Its performances over the past year have generated much anticipation for DIIV's debut full-length, but Oshin doesn't connect the same way. [No.89, p.53]

    Because it's tediously unassuming, people will listen to it in the background once or twice while skimreading blogs and forget about it within a year.

    The trouble with listening to these songs en masse is that each one blurs into the next, making the whole unmemorable.

    What rescues Oshin from being a set of aqueous dream-pop search engine tags is the band's latent Krautrock bent. Past Lives and Human really could go on for another couple of minutes, such is the lock of their grooves.
