Within the first 10 seconds of Rush To Relax, as Brendan Suppression screeches "ANXIIEEETTTYYYY", the goodness is instant like ramen. Mmmm tasty. Slacker (yet highly strung) declarations over tight as pants (!) rhythm and riffage; about going to crowded parties and heading straight for the corner just to be alone, wanting to be your gentle man, being a jerk, burning out. Some time balladry, some time 60 second punk. An Eddy Current show minus deluded fans of Mumford & Sons WITH excellent support from Hit The Jackpot and No Through Road.
