Man this thing is COOL. It falls just short of a 4.3 for me because there is a large section of the last track that feels a little more like
experimentation for the sake of experimentation and gets to my nerves ever so slightly, but who knows the EP might grow on me anyways. This is an
incredibly soulful and colourful post-punk EP infused with Giant Steps and jazz rhythmics, some brass, diva vocals that you could see on a jazz
fusion record, all sorts of craziness, cool basslines, cool tones, and ideas throughout. Blends a lot of things from its era, feels ahead of its
time yet deeply entrenched in its time. I don't know how to better describe this, it's four tracks, jam it. The two tracks that are on the
Visit/Seduction compilation between the EP and LP but in neither of those are worth checking too, though they wouldn't change my rating of this I
think. They are both slightly insane tracks, and I find a touch of TDEP in Anatomy Is Not Destiny with the polyrhythms and the distorted guitars,
4.2
