It\u2019s obvious that <em>Turn Them Off<\/em> is the product of A.D.D.-free minds. Absent Sound negotiate these  five-minute-plus songs in a pretty calm and collected (though energetic)  headspace and the band\u2019s songs turn slowly from start to finish,  revealing more mysterious layers as they go along. The time signatures  and tempos of \u201cOccupying Home\u201d shift prismatically like few other bands  in the city (except maybe their peers Mahogany Frog) could replicate,  and the self-effacing angst of \u201cStuck in Line\u201d is for great dramatic  effect. Closer \u201cHip Hop Knights\u201d keeps its groove for a good seven  minutes, making it a great ethereal pop song that closes the album and  echoes off into the distance.
