May 26, 2016As an EP for the band to dip their toes back into the creative process of being a band again, it’s a thrilling piece of work, a preface to their national run of live shows and, well, whatever comes after that. Because while EP4 makes for a mighty fine mixtape, one certainly hopes they won’t stop there.

May 26, 2016This is the sound of a band learning to work together again after nearly half a decade apart and finding that they aren’t as rusty as they might think.

May 26, 2016Enjoyable as it is, EP 4 does seem like smart risk management, a test run that confirms that whatever the group comes up with won’t be a Pixies-style disaster. As such, the rewards are modest.

Jun 1, 2016EP 4 is super cohesive, conscious of what unions and dialogues are and what it means to re-union yourself with something.

May 26, 2016There are definitely kinks: certain moments on this EP are disjointed and muddled, as the band throw loose riffs out into the ether and hope they'll stick, but the hooks and verve that made the band successful in the first place are still potent.
