Firstly I just wanna make a quick apology to anyone who saw our original listing of this as an LP. Our man at the distributor has a nasty habit of lying about the more overpriced 12” EPs in a ruse to sell more, it's not our fault. That aside, though, this is at least a pretty decent EP that offers a slightly different side to the 'Ring to what we're used to. The A side is an eight or nine minute jam with Brendan verbalising snottily over clattery and repetitive garage riffs. Good stuff. On the flip we've got a couple of live tracks, 'Second Guessing' and 'I Admit My Faults'. They're both well recorded and reasonably long too and great examples of the krautier side of the infectious garage rock these guys peddle. I feel like this EP should be half this price so I've marked it down a star for sneakiness. If you're into the band already this won't disappoint, but if you're not then I'd start with an album if I were you.
The chance to peek inside an artist's studio is a rare opportunity-the flotsam, jetsam and miscellaneous arcana found there offer surprising and often revelatory insights into the creative process. The scribbles, sketches and scraps that are usually kept hidden behind the scenes exert a profound influence on artists' vision. Here, the tremendous EDDY CURRENT SUPPRESSION RING serve up a rare glimpse of their day-to-day practice, both in the studio and on tour. The A side of this extended player is a pounding, 8-minute long studio session featuring BRENDAN's feverish ad-libbed rants lobbed incongruously over the top of his bandmates' precision crafted sound. The reverse side features live versions of "I Admit My Faults" and "Second Guessing." If you're fortunate enough to have seen the band live, these tracks will vividly recall the fantastic intensity of their stage presence. If you haven't had that pleasure (yet), this EP will get you pumped for the real thing.
