They dream, brood, kick ass, and write damn good songs. They\u2019ve made waves with both full-length releases (<em>I Will Be, <\/em>and <em>Only In Dreams<\/em>) and solid EPs (<em>He Gets Me High<\/em>, now this). This five-song release contains enough quality to constitute an LP, but it has all the more impact for doing so in 18 minutes. \u201cMine Tonight\u201d dreams of death, \u201cI Got Nothing\u201d laments loneliness and distance, \u201cTrees and Flowers\u201d is a cover of a Strawberry Switchblade song, proclaiming a hatred for so much of one\u2019s surroundings, \u201cLord Knows\u201d yearns for a better-lived existence and alludes to Icarus, who met a sad fate flying in bliss to closely to the sun, and \u201cSeason in Hell\u201d recognizes all the broken hearts and tears, finally driving the work toward redemption, toward a new dawn. The album is reminiscent in production to some Raveonettes releases, understandable given Dee Dee\u2019s work with Sune Rose Wagner of that duo. This work is one of my personal must-listens for the year.
