#434 Feed Me - To the Stars EP

I have been listening to Feed Me's Big Adventure damn near continuously, need more.

This isn't quite it though. Here's a leaner, more traditionally experimental album, with some of the housey consistency shaved off, the indulgent buzzes stretched thin, the bleeps in odder rhymic pigeonholes, less electro, more (post?) dubstep. It reminds me of Justice's arc, where they Cross's shameless, muscular riffage was followed by an apologetically icier, artier set.

The highlight here is the title track, which has a joyous set of swerves and squiggles as its backbone, but nothing here approaches FMBA's highest highs, sounding like something off of a DFA sampler. I still like it better than most anything that can see dubstep from where it's standing, but this seems like a regression into the chin-scratching that I was so refreshed to use Feed Me as an escape from 3/5

You might like this if: you like big bass, scattered structures, ragged synths, if you thought Feed Me's Big Adventure was too bluntly fun
