| | CD Baby: GOOD EVENING: i saw the sun explode (EP.1) |
 | | Their latest EP, I SAW THE SUN EXPLODE, is a collection of five new songs that demonstrate the fruits of these experiments - a coherent new identity for the group and a music that is at once grandly expansive, intimately concentrated, and unafraid to be melodic and beautiful. |
 | | While their music may reference the style and aims of bands like Radiohead, Can, Elbow, Soft Machine, Talk Talk, as well as other atmospheric and Anglophilic groups, they are inspired to go beyond mere derivation or mimicry. |
 | | Boil it all down, and what remains is really strong rock that oscillates between the epic crescendos of "Backbone", the moody aggressiveness of "Go On", and the "physiological moment" of the ballad "The Spark I Was" (peppered with bits that lean in the direction of Coldplay). |
