APSE - "Apse"

34 minutes-long debut EP by six lads from New England and Virginia, under the songwriting / direction of Robert W. Toher and Ryan M. Todd, where they showcased a solid, potent and mature musical sense with influences spanning Classical compositions, Slint, Kraftwerk, and The Cure – to the first Sonic Youth noise adventures, and the early works of Brian Eno and Roxy Music. Sonic whirlwinds that begin with a spasm, accelerate to the rhythm of nervous drums trotting around an arpeggio, tie themselves round high-pitched guitars, spin round golden melodies and agonise after a final sound explosion.
