Slows Down – EP 2 [2016; self-released]

Odd electric ruminations, offbeat alt pop, and traces of folk gentility ocme together in this release, its four songs drifting through their moods with disarming freedom and subdued heartache.  The electronic textures are used sparingly but effectively, and the melancholy of the strings is kept brief enough to spike its point in before becoming dull.  It’s a bittersweet collection, and one which makes its weirdness serve the music instead of just gilding it.
