Extasy

This is tragic, beautiful, heartbreakingly beautiful. It grabs you, wrenches your heart, and you’re instantly transfixed and satisfied in ways you didn’t know you needed to be. It’s masterful pupperteering of words and music. Not just music, but music so gripping you barely move. It=EDs purely overtaking. “Love Trans Holistic Bottle” is what would happen if The Cure and The Deftones married. The writing on “God is in Neutral” is astounding: “I’m planting seeds for thought poachers.” If you enjoy good, modern poetry, The Cure, The Deftones, and mellow, devastating music, you need sub.bionic. This is moving in the deep, amazing way music rarely is.
