Why it's here

Family Portrait turns tape-hissed lo-fi house into a full-length with more shape than a single viral moment would suggest. Ross from Friends lands the hooks immediately, but the sequencing and rhythmic variety give the album enough depth to move beyond novelty. 'Happy Birthday Nick' opens at ninety-seven seconds and 'Family Portrait' arrives sixth at a hundred and two.
