ok.
so, their bandcamp page is misleading - it makes it seem like they have a large discography, when it's in truth just a scattering of singles. what i posted is really their first substantive release.
so, that's why i've never heard of them.
i listened through all of their early singles, and while there's bits and pieces of various interest, it's all just a lot of teases, without ever getting anywhere in the end. maybe if you strung them all out together, you might have something more interesting, but half of them are demos, there's a lot of overlap and the vocals were at about half the intensity through most of it...
rather, it seems like this record of theirs is actually quite a long time coming, which might have something to do with the detail present on it.
i'll post a final review in a bit. but, that's a show i would have likely gone to. alas.
