Fans of the outfit may hear the results on the band's new album. Drummer Kato Kronen's shuffling, cat-like percussion figure yields to swelling and colliding guitar tones on "Have It All," sounding a bit like a retro-pop song slowed to two-thirds and laced with distant, half-heard voices and reverb soaked shrouds of grey noise. "Leaves Will Fall" skitters on a stick figure mid-tempo pony ride beneath vaguely menacing harmonized lead vocals shared between the siblings, and the chill instrumental "Sapience" drifts along like a murmur on the wind, lush and diffident. Drifting amidst dark confection or shoegazer ambience, Kronen evokes as effectively as it narrates.

In some ways, this EP may reveal a band who has grown into their material sufficiently that they need be less parochial in how it gets assembled in the studio. "The catalyst in that change was that I took music theory and music composition classes at CU the last few semesters before this album," explains Caleb Kronen. "And what helped me gain the musical confidence with a lot of my scoring, and more practical side of things. I learned a lot of different techniques that helped me with harmonic progressions that were a little more unique than the last two albums we did."
