    Earrings Off! is undoubtedly a brave, intriguing release, and should cement Adult Jazz as a band you really can’t afford to ignore.

    Earrings Off! is an album that demands multiple listens and gets better with each one.

    When Earrings Off! is good, it’s very, very good. When it’s not so good, it sounds too much like forced experimentation.

    Even with misgivings about the lack of length and focus, this mini-LP makes fairly clear that Adult Jazz are in a transitional state. Earrings Off! is too small to be called a sophomore slump, and it introduces new elements to the band’s repertoire that could easily play well with the best aspects of Gist Is.

    Earrings Off! is filled with these sorts of growing pains, ones that hopefully point to brighter pastures sometime soon for this promising band.

    Earrings Off! is as much art project as it is pop album, though, and three of these seven tracks are brief instrumentals that don’t attempt to soften their avant ambitions.

    Earrings Off! also features three instrumental tracks, but none of these feel like they add anything to the experience of the album, or its central themes.
