The Speedy Wunderground-signed duo wield the unpredictable energy of a live jam session on this fantastic debut EP.

Interesting project fusing jazz with rock in some unexpected ways.

However, the real treat comes at the end with ATM and its glorious syncopated rhythms and unexpected musical decisions. Good though undercooked
