EL JESUS DE MAGICO - Funeral Home Sessions

I couldnt help but to be taken aback when I finally heard this. Atmospheric yet propulsory, serrated by slippery synth-hooks and a newfound tightness (a step away from the larval, early-Royal Trux carelessness by which the band used to embody) and about as discomforting as the surreal experience of stumbling into a beerless after-after-party for the first time. It took a day or two to finally get a good handle on this, but I have no problem with a little work when the sounds are so riveting. Perhaps the most exciting thing about this EP is that, like Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments before them, and the band manages to counter such morally deflating atonality from left-field, with dynamic and youthful vigor.-Sean Wright the Z-Gun\r\n\r\n
