A nice EP, which like (it seems) every single Low Roar record is nice, but hardly goes beyond nice too. 1 is surprisingly ambient and contemplative being fully instrumental, and it gets quite beautiful with its lamenting strings. It is a great setup for the next songs, which is smart enough to use vocals quite sparingly after bringing back some folk into the mix, and is as such one of the more successful LR songs. The issue with this one as well as 1-3 is that they are two short, and feel like they end when really they should have expanded for twice as long. 3 is more ambient and ethereal which is nice, just wish it went on for longer. 4 is a sweet folk/country song and is the only track here that is actually long enough to feel complete, without overextending. While it isn't my favourite thing in the world, in the context of the EP I quite like it. A nice EP, but that is just LR being LR. 3.5
