Reviews Etc...
God Is In The TV - Owain Paciuszko
'The opening rock riffage of Bail Out, things take a post-rock swing with the verse that turns into a good ol' build up. It's an ear-grabbing start to this EP, with a sound at times Placebo-ish. Mirada has a fast, stammering intro riff, collapsing into ominous rolling drums and scuzzy bass. The title-track juxtaposes atmospheric synths with 70's car chase hi-hat, Cameron's lyrics are optimistic, yet bitter and almost apocalyptic. 10.24 has a rhythm similar to many a single spurred on by the success of Bloc Party. Release has a slower, epic feel as Cameron wonders 'Where's my escape?' in amongst anthemic despairing backing vocals. It's a dynamic and strong finish to this generally impressive record. 4/5'
