Trapped in Kansas/The Darien Venture
Split EP
(CD)
Both 'Antlers' and 'The Idiot' are cut from a different cloth from your standard 4/4 time, 12-bar rock. Instead the guitar lines bleed off in countless directions like dabs of watercolour paint, while the rhythm slinks through unfathomable shifts and progressions.'
- The Scotsman
'acute melodic sensibility and complex blend of airy jazziness with truckloads of intricate guitar-work'
- The List
'maturity and variation on the oft repeated math rock forumala give them an almost unique sound'
- Seperated by Moterways
'Clever Intricate, spindly guitars underscore yearning vocals'
- The Scotsman
'they channel the spirit of the Mars Volta away from the excesses of jazz obscurantism and towards the relative safety of post-rock. Some impressive fret-board virtuosity'
- The skinny
'Scotland's most accomplished math rock act'
- Under the Radar
They meld elements of Minus the Bear, American football and Maps and Atlases. Think of delicately constructed tapping melodies, hints of jazz and experimental vocals forming into a melting pot of ambiently inspired math-rock.'
- Alter-Nativ
