I liked the EP fine, but the formerly impending full-length is so meandering and ethereal that i’m pretty sure you could conjure up a more Gripping Rock Experience by listening thru the walls to the chick who lives in the apartment above you singing along to her Dream Syndicate album. Only thing shaking here is my head, and that’s due to the veritable Parkinson’s Disease of disdain i have just now been stricken with. BEST SONG: “Forwards & Backwards” BEST SONG TITLE: “I Feel Strange” FANTASTIC AMAZING TRIVIA FACT: “Mystery Train” is not the Sun-era Elvis number of identical nomenclature. Also, the “A” in “FAde Out” is capitalized.
