This arty indy band from Seattle is making waves  Whether they have reached the geographical Juhu Beach (near Mumbai, or Bombay) I don't know. And I don't know what it's been taking me so long to review this band. I didn't have to travel to India even though it may feel like it. Possibly because I mistook them to be excessively arty and emo. They have also been called spazz rock and math rock. I can see the spazz rock label, the math rock  almost undecipherable voice, angular guitar, crooked melodies, avantazz-like rhythmics a becoming clearer the Drive Like Jehu (Juhu?) Rocket From The Crypt influence is apparent. I am not familiar with a lot of the Seattle bands they cite as similar. I also agree with the Archers of Loaf comparison with their arch chaos and slamming rhythm screeching and screaming Eric Bachman like vocals--even on the EP  I can't make out what is being said. I was impressesed with "Hibernating Mammals:" it had moments of starling clarity.That being said, I will continue to listen and replay. The clarity like the feedback endures.
