An impressive mish-mash of weirdcore that, although it doesn't have the consistency and coherence of a 'grand album', does display a fair good lot of musical maturity considering it is a debut, with the band having already its own sound and some fairly impressive creative tropes. I wonder if these guys had done other projects before this. The sound ranges from fairly lukewarm and tame songs that are fine but that I immediately forgot (4,6) to drone (3) or near-noise (end of 2), with a couple songs displaying somewhat agressive, Faraquet style math-rockiness (5,7) which were perhaps teh most immediately likeable tracks), whilst some tracks like the opener go to and fro between those things while having some good ideas. There is a good flow at play here, and with the 29min runtime it all blends into a good, seamless, grainy experience, that isn't revolutionary but is definitely a good time. 3.7
