Fifty-word review

Are We All Forgotten

Bin It

First track promises a melody rich, ambient album. Second? Strike that! Dance singles! Third? Sleepy indie rock. Fourth? Whiny techno. Fifth? More ambient / sleepy indie. Together, the EP introduces a sound that's too vocally dense to be ambient, too sleepy to be danceworthy and too uncompelling to become a favorite.

Reminds us of Cut Copy (but you won't dance) | Postal Service (just the percussion and the heartfelt, verbose lyrics)
