Had to pause before the last two tracks, and hell did these last two feel a lot stronger. Also noticed Emma Ruth Rundle was on the bill only towards the end. Nice stonerey-spacey-shoegazey post-rockey EP that shows great promise, but prod especially on the guitars felt a bid muddy, blurring out the compositions - although the bass is nice and audible. The opener is a good example of that, and feels a bit simplistic. 2 is more interesting and dynamic. The transition into 3 is great, which is true of the EP in general - transitions flow when they should, and are abrupt when they need to. 3 in itself shows crescendocore guitars but also fat sludgey tones in the midtrack, and it is cool to see the variety of sounds the band can produce. 5 is super cool with its bass line, but I kinda wish it unfolded into a full on track with vocals like the rest. 6 starts nice and deftonesey before going into pretty post-rock. I might give this another spin if I end up enjoying their LP. 3.6
