Sounds like a band trying to make old school Contortionist songs. It's missing the edge though.

Carpenter sounds great though, if a little bit sterile (I'm guessing intentionally for that Intrinsic era sound)

Instrumentally sounds more like Substructure to me, I’ll take it

it is indeed surprisingly Substructure-y but with Carpenter doing his Intrinsic vocals on it (although his harsh vox have definitely not held up since Exoplanet)

i like it, this stuff is basically comfort food to me at this point

Check out Foreign Waves, Jon's solo project. Definitely scratches the Intrinsic/Exoplanet vibes, considering it's supposedly a spiritual sequel to those albums. Not polished like TC but I really dig it.
