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.'

Good show last night lads. Sounded very nice (even if guitars were drowning out the vocals). Stirling would welcome you back anytime.

Also I'm loving the rock ending to Wake Me When It Thunders more and more. And I vote Doctors gets played at the Mill. :P
