Ex Libras Cut(s) EP - News Round Up!

Talented threesome, Ex Libras, recently released their wonderful EP Cut(s) - an acoustic, looptastic reworking of debut album Suite(s) - to wide spread acclaim. The good words keep on coming their way, and today we at ABoF HQ thought we would give you a little round up of the most recent positive reviews.

First up is a fantastic review from This Is Fake DIY who had this to say about the record:

"The most remarkable thing that the band have accomplished is to make the formerly slick, charming and breathtaking original record sound presumptuous and disorderly. This was perhaps not their intention, but it is certainly a testament to their development as artists." - This Is Fake DIY

The Line of Best Fit also heaped praise at the boys saying:

"If anything, Cut(s)’s biggest boon is the meticulous sense of dread that courses throughout the EP’s length. The reworked tracks are much gloomier than their originals; a rainy day punctuated by the ray of light in Amit Sharma’s tense voice. On the original album these songs grew to thunderous conclusions; here they are allowed to wallow in themselves." - The Line of Best Fit

Finally music website Room Thirteen rated the EP as 10/13 which is quite a score! They wrote:

"Opener 'For Us, For Me' has plucked strings, drum machine and cello, as well as a nicely understated vocal delivery, the tone is thoughtful, slightly melancholic somewhere between Radiohead and Antony and the Johnsons...perhaps. It could almost be one of those tracks that appears on those chill out compilation albums but that really does the EP a disservice as it's far better than that." - Room Thirteen

Keep up-to-date with the band, who have a tour coming up and an exciting show with Mimas and Union Sound Set, through their website or Myspace page.
