    This one-off EP with singer-songwriter cum symphonist Sufjan Stevens and semiclassical drum'n'bassmaker Son Lux is different, because the primary function of his raps is to ground the beautiful musics his collaborators contribute.

    An odd mix of personalities and musical styles, but somehow s / s / s works, and the result is something quite beautiful.

    Whether or not they've produced anything that justifies the time away they could have spent producing something better, more consequential, by themselves? Well, the jury's still out there.

    Joke or not a joke, this isn't great music.

    A little sloppy, but purposefully so. This short EP is different, odd, and quirky, containing a bunch of interesting and cool hooks. Some might find it a little too odd, but that's because it isn't trying to be normal. It's just a small and simple project between three already established musicians. What came out of it is memorable whether you enjoy the memories or not.… Expand
