Nostalgic synths float throughout Take It All Back, punctuated by some damn fine crisp percussion. The banality of Zhen’s lyrical regret gives the track a unique, underhanded charm. Lines like “I should have made us food that night,” are delivered with a double-edged sincerity that almost invites sardonic interpretation. As far as retro synth sounds go, Take It All Back is a refreshing trek down a memory lane less travelled.
