Reworking four songs from The Cure’s Disintegration album, this EP leads with “Plainbong”, matching the original’s opening track of “Plainsong”, with down-tuning of the guitar and bass to go with the slowed keyboards. Outside of those shifts, it’s a straight-forward cover, as are “Doseclown” (rendering “Closedown”), “Fascination Trip” (for ”Fascination Street”), and “Retitled” (”Untitled”). The focus on textures and tone in “Doseclown” helps bring it to the fore as the most interesting of the tracks, with some competition from the lively guitar work in “Fascination Trip”, but all around, it’s a decent enough tribute, though not especially innovative with its treatments.
Here’s the alternate cover art.
