Very very cool debut EP. Sounds a lot like if Life on Venus played fast and with more of a catchy, fast-paced punkey approach almost rather than slow ethereal shoegaze. From the first seconds what strikes is the beautifully intricate yet abrasive tones these folks manage to craft without sounding messy. Beautiful employ of vast, vast amounts of fx, and nice sporadic shoegaze vox to work with it. I do wonder how this would work on a longer format, but here on something this short the somewhat lack of variety is not at all a problem. The band also goes quite ahrd at times as the riffage on 2 can demonstrate. I do find 4 to be slihgtly less engaging than the rest, though it is still a great song and does have its fair shair of riffage plus a nice noisy outro I quite dig. Still drops this a point to a lovely and promising 3.9
