If there’s one thing that defines these four songs it’s their graceful parabolic shape, an ebbing and swelling layering of heartbeat rhythms, billion-measure chords, ghostly vocals, and more. It’s too irregular to be properly dance, and too repetitive to let anywhere near a radio – like Stereolab stripped of gadgetry and outfitted with an orchestra, as in the second track, “In Fulfillment of the Enthusiastic.” Four songs in less than twenty minutes is just a glimpse into this strange confluence of chaos.
