Hazy, cotton-candy melodies float along, wispy and serene, delivering the mellow sugar high while floating on an inner tube. “M.Mouse” is the perfect example, as the relaxing, unhurried flute tones get pulled along ever-so-gently by a current of bleeps, beats, and a bass line. This is atmospheric but still moves along in a nice way. Still, it’s better suited for drifting off to sleep while exchanging sweet smiles than for busting any sort of moves. The lavender tinted packaging ought to tip off the curious.
