Napa Asylum

Napa Asylum accounts for the swift tilt of time since 2008's US EZ, with twenty-two crafted tracks bubbling in the reverb tank. The album is overfull with Sic pleasures, echoing half-emptily like they do as the hooks slide into your flesh, animating you marionette-style to tip-tat your way across the dance floor. Let's away to the Tascam 8-Ball! Themes include re-incarnation, magic and schizophrenia. Yeah, the sound reflects a minimal set-up, but don't let them fool you. The process is the flavor. You can still get in on the ground floor, 'cause Sic Alps always record in the basement. Get down your steps while you can, the songs are as short as they are bitter-sweet.
