Saviours - Accelerated Living
Where Saviours will not win any points is, almost inevitably, in the originality stakes. These waveforms aren’t going to savage that reliably informed idea you have of the genre. Rather it will coax it and comfort it. It might even fall asleep on this comfy blanket of reassurance. »
No Age - Losing Feeling
Though Losing Feeling remains EP in stature and with its intentions, it’s still enjoyable and represents a need to keep testing different waters before diving headlong into their next murky stretch of creative water. »
