2009, A Records
"The first two tracks are a solid dose of fuzzed-out guitar rock awesomeness. Lyrics are barely discernible, guitars are blazing, and it's all underpinned by a solid rock drone. Think of it as classic BJM on steroids. Following that are two takes on a tabla driven track called "Tempo 116.7". The first take ("Reaching Dangerous Levels Of Sobriety") is the more mellow of the two, and towards the end has some sonic manipulations that almost made us recall Liars. The second take ("Clean Acid / Dirty Beats") is driven by an uber-clean dance beat that we'd swear is from a drum machine. About halfway through the track even cuts in with a brief hip-hop vocal sample - suffice it to say, it's new territory for the band.
The EP closes with a seriously solid rock tune entitled "Super Fucked". The track is loaded with attitude, and driven by a march-time synth line that steadily trundles on over waves of distorted guitar strums. Once Anton Newcombe's vocals kick in, the track really gets comfortable, and delivers one of the best performances we've heard from the band in a while. Without a doubt, it's the highlight of the EP." - Hippies Are Dead
