Erich Mrak again impresses, this time with the track “No Ways.” The Toronto-based artist describes the track as “what happens when you’re a drink away from collapsing and spilling your feelings, when you should’ve said good night and gone home.” The track initially was more in the vein of a country/pop song. The final product touts a lusher dream-pop assortment with the guitar jangles and understated vocals. The reflecting vocal segments around 01:10 play notably, echoing vibes reminiscent of Frank Ocean. Showing an atmospheric yearning, “No Ways” continues a stellar year for Mrak, impressing prior with the tracks “See You In September” and “Girls.”
