    Despite his mainstream flirtations, Cashmere Cat is more about delaying pleasure than instant gratification.

    The whole EP is terrifyingly accomplished, there is sick genius at work in every nanosecond of detail, and it definitely makes you feel like the 21st century as per 20th century sci-fi principles is finally well underway.

    If the seats at brunch are all taken by indie kids and laid-back electronica fans, Wedding Bells is a suitable soundtrack.

    How long this approach will remain fresh or whether Hoiberg can maintain the quality of his productions after the novelty wears off are questions for later records. For now, enjoy Wedding Bells. It was made for no other purpose.

    Aside from its appropriate feel for a good time get-down in a surprisingly cheerful cartoon post-apocalypse, it's hard to get any real emotional connection from these cuts.

    With this EP Cashmere Cat shows us some of the genius moves he can achieve. In the chaos and the mess of sounds, beats and distorted vocalsWith this EP Cashmere Cat shows us some of the genius moves he can achieve. In the chaos and the mess of sounds, beats and distorted vocals there are some powerful moments of brightness and lightness. It can be hard to catch but there it is. On the other hand I had a lot of trouble to get emotionally involved because of all the switches and the rough tempos. This EP can sound really aggressive sometimes but it is completely forgivable when you see the amazing progress Cashmere Cat has made since 2014. I can only warmly recommend his excellent '9' album.
