6-track ep release by Veto. The band doesn't do a lot to incorporate new styles in its sound, although, this shows a small tendency in borrowing elements from glitch pop. Sometimes I still hear a little too much inspiration from Bloc Party (e.g. 'Upwards') but Troels Abrahamsen has a very different vocal sound which makes that tolerable.
The band produces some great tunes but struggles in making coherent and solid album releases. This is, however, a strong ep, perhaps the band's very best release, that makes you wish there were more.
