All four songs on this EP are great and although they all more or less can be described as psychedelic rock, they cover a broad spectrum touching on glam, indie, and garage rock. Like MGMT, the band plays with sound textures, layering guitars, sound effects and choruses, while never loosing sight of the song and hook. "Pump Yr Brakes" rides heavy rough-edged guitar riffs, but the vocals and chorus keep it out of the sludge. "The Narwal" starts with hypnotic rhythmic guitar and drum beat and then introduces wordless backing vocals that recall the recent glam rock of Pop Levi or David Vandervelde. "Supreme Being" is dreamy, with chiming guitars, and chanted/sung vocals. "Head Dress" speeds things up, reminding me of All Night Radio with its low level-distortion shimmering over a beat that gets you nodding with it's ebb and flow. All in all, it is a solid four songs. I can't wait to hear more from them. Oh, and you can get it free on their website. Sweet.

Looks like they've decided to release a track from their upcoming album. By the way, they're still hooking people up with their EP too. How can you not love this band?
