"The opener "Not Not Not" is almost goofy, its chaotic melodies constantly dancing around each other in a perpetually disorienting way. It lurches forward asymmetrically, grooving like a flat tire."
"The instrumental "Da Na" follows, drawing on a familiar yet slightly uncanny palette of sounds. The clarinet (?) drifts in and out of dissonance as if drunk."
"While the sounds are strange, uneasy, and almost queasy at times, the songs are light and fantastical. Despite not understanding the lyrics, it's impossible not to get a sense of hope from them."
Kate NV's Room for the Moon features 11 tracks inspired by Russian and Japanese pop from the '70s and '80s, along with children's movies. The album showcases whimsical elements through snappy bass lines, proggy synths, and reverbed drum machines. Tracks like "Not Not Not" and "Sayonara (Full Moon Version)" highlight chaotic melodies and fantastical daydreams. Despite the strange sounds and mostly Russian lyrics, the music conveys a sense of hope and lightness throughout the listening experience.
