First of all, can you consider something an EP if it comes with just three songs? That’s more like a single, isn’t it? Guess these guys really needed a release to let the fans know they’re still around. You can’t even call it a teaser for an upcoming full-length because as far as I can tell there isn’t even a release date in sight for Sky Eats Airplane’s second album.
Anyway, on to the music… as soon as “The Contour” kicks in you know that they still like to concoct a strange cocktail of sounds. It’s kinda poppy with some screaming and technical parts mixed in with all the electronics. The title track is a bit heavier while the last track is more of the same but more mellow and piano-based. Three slightly different sides of a band that in the end doesn’t really manage to surprise. Kind of like a Hot Topic-friendly version of earlierThrice. The only difference is that here none of the songs stick after you’ve heard them.
Score: 6 out of 10
