Outer Spaces
Amoeba Review

Cara Beth Satalino AKA Outer Spaces delivers an introspective second album post-breakup with her partner and bandmate. In these melodic indie rock tracks, Satalino's subdued vocals are highlighted by simple harmonies and framed by fuzzy guitar. “YWLGOML” contains a subtly catchy chorus and pretty synths on the outro. “I See Her Face” is a folky but rhythmic song with a bassline reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac and lyrics about glimpsing a more optimistic version of herself – alternate selves being a recurrent theme on the album. “Album for Ghosts” swings nicely from its moodier main structure to an unexpectedly anthemic ending with the repeated chorus.
