Whats fantastic about this EP is that it's all about flow.
Too many post-rock bands (ETIS themselves are guilty of this) is that too often they go over-blow and not enough happens to keep the listeners attention. Here, ETIS went about writing this ep by doing "a song a day" for originally 2 weeks but then became 8 days. The inspiration for these working conditions however clearly had great effect on them, because they've managed to condense all the things that make ETIS and post-rock in general great into a 30 minute EP. You won't find the wonderful stand-alone tracks of say 'Your Hand in Mine' but you will find an overall very rewarding listen.
