Sounds Like

For an EP that is essentially an untouched live recording, this is a pretty good EP. The tracks are all instrumental and very much in the vein of the indie psychadellia vibe mastered by Yo La Tengo and visited by Massive Attack, meaning driving drum beats, entrancing bass lines, and free-form guitar.

The EP has seven songs and enough potential to make me wonder how far this band can go, and what their future direction might be. It definitely relies on riding a solid groove, and should these guys ever work in a Phish cover, or cover a song that Phish has covered, may wake up to find tents on their lawn...

fox 6 good day alabama (video)

we sit in a circle and play electronic instruments and drum heads. sometimes we wear ties. why? because brian epstein was a genius. that's why. almost everything we play is completely made up on the spot, just us reacting to one another. our music has a rare immediacy and we kind of dig that. we show up on time. we're blossoming philanthropists. we like atmospherics. we make rooms feel different and colorful. we are nice to the ladies.

I just had a major let down. I thought I was going to be able to come and see you guys at Speakeasy on St. Patty's Day, but I have to work that day. This is a very sad moment.
