Brent is one great musician... he comes up with a long melt, weir in tow, thrilling kits duet, so weightlifting, noisy bursty space into guitars!!! A+

well refreshed at set break. For sure. This one doesn't fuck around. Skirts away from the watercolor innocent nature flows of more "pretty" scarletfire for a more aggressive and bizarre mindset. some versions, they lock into an effortless psychic palmreading jam, others the devils are trying to set the tone and be weird during the lyrics so the jam is more like boxing, an unnerving process of reaction and being unpredictable on purpose. Drummers off the leash always makes for ridiculous versions when all the slack isn't on the chordals to make shit happen. Gets to some very untethered outcomes. Bubbly and brutal.This one won't be for everyone but it's always on the edge, often it's fantastic and always super physical.
