The title track is downright pointless in its
short-cut form, apart from that an awesome display
of abstract psychedelic rock.

Transitional EP fosho. While Soon will soon (eheh) constitute Loveless's closer, it works extremely well here as the opener. Glider is not as interesting, being a mere repetitive drone, while the last two tracks respectively bring an acoustic version of the classic MBV layers and a rocker with twee vocals. Shame I didn't dig the t/t.

Everyone has at least heard of MBV, likely because of their 1991 magnum opus Loveless, which is often hailed as one of the greatest shoegaze albums of all time. However, MBV had been a relatively successful band before they released their masterpiece, having released a full length and a slew of EP's beforehand. One of them is Glider, and it showcases some excellent songwriting and developing ideas. The opener, "Soon", would later be the closer of Loveless, so most know that song already. "Glider" however is a weird piece that is made of screeching guitars. The last two songs on the record, "Don't Ask Why" and "Off Your Face", are two great songs that employ an early version of the style MBV would later perfect: taking dream pop songs and draping them in weird noises, distortion, and droning. All in all, a very good transitional EP that marked an important crossroad in the bands style.
