I recently heard this at my house, and it's now on regular rotation at the
downstairs stereo system. My roomate got it, and it rocks!!!!!
Initially, the first track impressed me the most, with it's searing
distortion and downtempo hip-hop influenced beat. Excellent track, with
lilting female vocals (and this is continued throughout the whole E.P).
Regarding vocals; Sarah Peacock's (sp?) voice is a much larger presence
than in past Seefeel projects. It seems the sound in the past was more of
a "voice as a texture" feeling, whereas in this project the voice seems to
dominate more than in the past. As for the three tracks left, after
hearing the first I wasn't as impressed, but still good. Nice to hear
something that is very different than anything else in regular rotation in
my head.
My advice -- get it. It's only 9/10$ and will make you say "Wow --
distortion in full effect!"
