About Expect Delays

"The dreamy swells of Expect Delays are sharp, crisp, to the point, and more often than not, very danceable. Their 5-song debut EP is a messy affair, heavily influenced by My Bloody Valentine and the electro-art bands of 4AD. Vocal duties switch from guy to girl, and trip-hop rhythms lurk in the backgound, yet Expect Delays confidently place their sure and melodic vocals on even with their syrupy guitar layers. The title track features a soaring female vocal and gentle reverbed guitars glaced over beautifully simplistic looping, and the result is a cross bewteen Cocteau Twins and Portishead. The synth heavy "Steets Washed With Rain" comes off as a 1980's-era techno-pop experiment, complete with overworked drum tones. "The Cold Squeal Of Metal on Metal" and "Recovery & Sleep" are playful arrangements that dabble in electro-glitch and ambient post-rock chill. Their use of ambient space on instrumental compositions is well crafted and decidedly calculated, leaving no gaps in melody or hooks. The urgent passion of "Mood Ring" recalls Two Conversations-era Appleseed Cast, only with the shoegaze-pop coolness of Morella's Forrest. Overall, this is a brilliant little piece of work. No filler...mostly killer. Rating: 7.9." -www.theblackandthewhitemag.com-
