Official release of the 2013 tour-only cassette with the addition of the Bauhaus cover 'Dark Entries'. Already described as labyrinthine post-punk the music twists and turns every each away akin to Wire covering early Talking Heads - and that's more satisfying than it sounds. Can't wait for the album proper to drop in 2015.

Orchestro-pop, pop baroque, or whatever it is that string arranger Owen Pallett does, it is pretty original, with or without the synth burblings on offer here. For sure, the arrangements can be ornate and neo-classical but it is Pallett's unmistakeable talent for a good pop tune is what makes this so captivating.
