trades in the slow gallop of their debut for a more rocking beat on this . This 23-minute, eight-song EP released on the label features at his lyrical best, eschewing some of the obliquity of the first release. Percussionist backs on most of the album. The songs have a particular urgency and an unfinished quality to them, as if they are sketches for something to come; and performance and spontaneity were stress above giving them a polished sheen. The song from the first full-length is reworked here and renamed There is also a "cover" thrown in for kicks. ~ Jason Nickey
