    [Notes]

    While heartbreak isn't necessarily an unexplored topic for Greg Laswell, his
    moody seventh LP, Everyone Thinks I Dodged a Bullet, feels particularly
    haunted. Solipsistically handling every task except for mastering and some
    fine cello parts played by Colette Alexander, Laswell stretches out in his
    isolation, delivering a lush, icy breakup album. The parameters of
    loneliness allow for a pretty wide range of emotions, but throughout the
    album's ten tracks, he seems to be stuck in a single mode of detached
    reflection, often cloaking his troubles in vague witticisms. On the album's
    opener, Laswell intones "Everyone thinks I dodged a bullet, but I think I
    shot the gun," a clever turn of phrase that would cut much deeper if he
    didn't continue to beat the listener over the head by repeating it a dozen
    more times. A synthetic glaze permeates most of the tracks, which generally
    comprise luxuriant synths, piano, and electronic beats. At its best, this
    treatment paints a nice wintry landscape across a standout cut like "And So
    I Tried to Sleep," but more often than not, it acts as a barrier putting too
    much distance between artist and listener. In the case of a track like "Out
    of Line," the production is simply uncomfortable to listen to, with an
    overwrought digital astringency that works against the song. Laswell is a
    strong melodicist with a knack for sweeping cinematic pop, and he does
    manage to end on a high note with the closer "Not Surprised," but overall,
    the album feels like a rather cold misfire.
