It's funny when you listen to something expecting one thing, and then you get a totally different thing that while initially a surprise ends up being pretty damn sweet. That's me hearing this EP, the first work I've ever heard of Kayo Dot's. From what I can gather, this is a pretty stripped down and sparse album from the band, but in no way does that make it bad. It is predominately ambient with beautiful xylophone, saxophone, slight guitar feedback, and even a few quaint drones here and there. It's actually pretty mesmerizing, but also tense, as you're waiting for an explosion of sound that hints at coming but never does. It's quite interesting and enjoyable, and I will be very content to hear more material from this band in the future.
