    I think cokemachineglow and Dusted Magazine have the most accurate reviews of this EP (that I've seen).

    Here is a great band putting out a just pretty good EP whose existence is really only justified by its brilliant title track.

    While aesthetically they are rather progressive (in indie rock or pop terms), conceptually and symbolically there is a lot lacking, and that this conflict drives a lot of what is interesting in their music.
