Each Other
Self-titled CDEP
Birds Go
South Records
Genre: post-punk, indie rock
June 2006 |
Not much information out there on Each Other,
but this EP seems to speak for itself. Eclectic, uniquely crafted pop
songs are constructed with blocks of guitar and excellent percussion,
with the singer's Fall-like indifferent wail behind it all. The
charged keyboards of "Soft Cuffs" add momentum to the song's forward
rumble, while the dark, blaring echoes that "Ivan on Ivan" is built on
create a tension that's hard to find in today's musical crop. "The
Hood of the Engineer" is the most dissonant and heady song on here,
adding a nice energy before the electronic-heavy experimental
"What's In Montreux," which features a nifty juxtaposition between
vocals and solid electronic drone. File Each Other's EP
under intelligent indie rock / post-punk.
