The songs on the album may be brief, but they more than make up for it with depth.
The focus of the album is once again electronics, but with the cynicism at a higher pitch than usual.
Contrary to what James Mercer sings during its first verse, “Simple Song” isn’t really all that simple.
Hopefully this is the last in an increasingly sorry string of low-concept concept albums.
Like tectonic plates, Radar Bros. move exceedingly slow but eventually build up something momentous.
It really is like as if Sondheim tried to replicate the Jesus and Mary Chain.
