Four pretty cool interweaving post-folky-mathy-rocky sort of tracks this one on the increasingly prolific an intruiging Function Records. Opener Am I Awake has that kind of Idlewild of old feel to it, crunching guitars played with earnest and energy and passionate lyrics that somehow seem to fear something close by. Directions seem to change here a lot too, one minute its mathy quiet picking, next its flailing wildly distorted and sharp as anything.
But it's been done before, which I guess is a shame but then it's still a lot of fun. danger Danger pushes further into the math direction, cascading rhythems and complex percussion tying it all up nicely. And it's all very good to be fair, the five piece ensemble have locked together tightly to create these four tracks and it shows. But I have to admit to slightly wonder as to what it is that is going to keep people holding on to this sort of music.
