In the weird valley these guys have a place on the corner of Zappa St. and True Star-Era Rungren Blvd, somewhere between The Frogs on floor 4 and Ariel Pink in the penthouse on the Structure Structure.
Boys keep it delightfully fuzzy, freaky, lo-fi, but the pacing's inconsistent and slapdash. There's a left turn on a song-by-song basis, but individual songs reveal themselves and then just churn for the duration - you're set up to expect surprises, but few come.
But! Man, that Nick Drake twinkling on the 2nd-to-last track works wonders, a sensitive moment that gives humanity to everything that came before. That alone ups this a solid half point to a solid 3/5
