This two-song EP has a lot more texture than anything I've heard recently. "Van Dyke Brown" opens with rain patter and feels murky, in a tranquil way. The singer's voice is distant and melancholic, but not despondent. The song floats along on gentle currents of electronic percussion and effects, and fades out slowly. "Weekdays" sounds like it was recorded on a blustery day, with more hazy electro-ambience.
The EP sort of reminds me of a more concentrated, compressed version of Herzog's first EP. It's an excellent accompaniment to the merry month of May, and I recommend it.

Hey man! I stumbled across this blog a couple of days ago, and I think it's awesome. I admire your writing style: it's vivid and to-the-point. I also dig how you're helping to spread the word about cool underground or up-and-coming bands. I strive to accomplish both these things in my blog (we actually have similar layouts too).
