The songs are in true Bison form, each song being a living breathing dynamic beast, but the songs are a little toned down from <i>Lovelessness<\/i>. This is still Bison we are talking about though, so these songs could still melt your face, vaporize your eardrum and turn your cranium to dust, but clearly the extreme anger and darkness of <i>Lovelessness<\/i> has been turned down. As a result this EP is a far more accessible offering from the band. I honestly can not pick a favorite between the two tracks. \u201cOne Thousand Needles\u201d has an awesome build and goes for the throat when the band unleashes and vocalist James Farwell begins belting, but the main riff in \u201cCalm, Friendly and Euthymic\u201d absolutely slays. Either way, this band is super underrated and a great local label put this EP out, stop by the bands bandcamp or War on Music to get yours.
