Brian's idea of a joke is pressing play on THE GUILLEMOTS 'Of The Night' EP turning it up really loud and then leaving the room. Well the joke has back-fired on him as he's just come back into the room and told me he actually likes the track 'She's Evil'. It's like Nine Inch Nails lite. Definitely the darker side of this schizoid band. The EP continues with 'The Rising Tide' which is a miserable depressing soul searching tune with nifty glockenspeil. They even get a touch experimental on 'Bad Boyfriend' utilising feedback and then into some complex rhythms. I think this band are for people who liked safe music but are into these to fill the alternative void in their collections, thus appearing dangerous when their wine drinking buddies come round to play Scrabble. I was expecting something far more commercial sounding from. It wonders off into academic avant garde territory but comes across as sounding more contrived than pure self expression.
