Their sophomore effort, Water’s Here in You, is just as vivid as its predecessor, but far more resonant. Water’s Here in You is the first project release where Albert is credited as a co-writer, and the band’s developing partnership helps make the work feel fuller. From its first few moments, Babehoven arrives at the height of their powers. The album opener (and lead single), “Birdseye” is emotionally dense and its vocal melody stays with you. Bon sings about forgiving an ailing family member in their last moments, and though the “one long arrow pointed at you” she sings about is intended to focus that care on them, the line is delivered with a softly threatening intensity—a well-executed balance at soundtracking estrangement. Guitar strums loop hypnotically, giving the song a constant thrum of urgency that simultaneously contrasts Bon’s soft voice while underscoring the intent in her words.
The album’s title is pulled from “My Best Friend Needs,” a song written in response to a friend’s car accident. The titular water is the lifeblood within Babehoven and the track’s inspiration, connecting them as it does to the rest of the world. Bon first sings, “my best friend needs something more than I can give,” and the helpless feeling that can accompany empathy when tragedy strikes is under-discussed. But it’s refreshing to hear a band whose music is this emotionally literate tackle such experiences head-on. And, coming right after “Birdseye” in the tracklist, this admission from Bon feels even more potent.

評価的にはよくない、内容はいいのに。
作品自体より、録音の具合、バランスみたいのがよくなかったのかも
