The glitchy electronic backdrops are very nice and give it that almost prerequisite postmodern edge - but it's ultimately the intelligent, blistering, seductive, burning melodies that sets this group apart from so many others. THESE SONGS ARE SCORCHING. The electronics serve the songs, NOT vice versa - that seems to be uncommon, but very welcome. Track 3 "Everything Is Everything" in particular floored me, but the other three are not far behind. Influences seem all over the place, but I'm sort of reminded of early Hooverphonic (but the songs here are much stronger), with some Lush and Autechre thrown in for good measure. I hope there is more where this came from, because we sure need it... thanks Autorotation.
