[DVYDRNS]

[Incendiary Lover]

I'm really digging On the Wing, its got a Yellow Submarine kind of vibe.

I really didn't like Keep It Together, however I thought maybe it would fit into the context of the EP. I'm halfway through Ice Age right now (which I am loving the shit out of) and I think that maybe Keep It Together doesn't suck so bad after all.

Seriously digging Ice Age though. If this is the sound of HTDA then I'm down braj.

On The Wing is equally awesome. Consider myself a fan.

[PhoenixML]

I "hated" Keep It Together, thank god this new EP is awesome. I'm at Loop Closes. It's SUCH a relief! Maybe with the whole package, I'm going to reconsider Keep It Together.

ha ha ha
refrain 'on the wing' = influenced by *insert snipped material here*

No joke!

I heard that similarity too!

[thefragile_jake]

Wow, I'm halfway listening through and I love how you can tell Grizzly Bear had even just a little bit of an influence on his sound.

[imail724]

Haven't had a chance to listen yet but I like that I'm seeing a lot more "people are gonna hate this" posts than "I hate this", which I've seen none of.

quite lovely actually

[witte]

the EP appeared on HTDA soundcloud too.

[WorzelG]

Wow - I love this, only up to On the Wing and REALLY glad I pre-ordered the flac files

[BrokenSpiral]

I'm on Ice age and its is fantastic. Wow. Left field but I love it. Be back in a few!

[thefragile_jake]

Alright, so "Ice Age" is for sure the highlight. The other tracks are pretty stellar as well, I think I'll need a second listen but I for sure liked it way more than I did the previous EP. Good stuff.

Did anyone else get a Fragile era vibe at all during "Speaking in Tongues".

I ike the fact there is so much sound experimentation going on but I hope Trent still applies that when it comes to writing for Nine Inch Nails. I'd really hate HTDA to be his "oh, look what other things I can do and different buttons I can push" while NIN is almost "playing it safe". That being said, though I might not 100% love everything NIN has ever done (Year Zero) I can still appreciate the hell out of it and I'm sure anything new by NIN we'll be in that same entity.

edit: and the soundcloud page confirms this is sigil 3 (so keep it together isn't a sigil) (so what the fuck was sigil 1 then)

I thought we all just assumed A Drowning was Sigil 1? I wonder if the KIT 12'' promo will have a Sigil number.

Anyway...goddamn that was an album. Maybe that's the "new music bias" speaking, but I was blown away.

They did a total bait and switch by releasing Keep it Together as the first single, the rest of the EP sounds nothing like it.

After the first listen, I think I'll say Ice Age is my favorite track. Simply amazing.

[jrdsctt]

This is fucking incredible. I am at a loss of words...

[tyrannus]

its very early, but it also seems like this is going to be very very good. need more time to digest. the loop closes is epic.

[DigitalChaos]

the EP appeared on HTDA soundcloud too.

very interesting... the embedded mp3s seem to have the exact same "random" file names as the one on hypem. It's probably nothing but I'll post it for posterity. Normally you don't see that...

edit: I am a gigantic dumbass. hypem is just embedded soundcloud. awesome fail is awesome. leaving my fail up for posterity

[NIN64]

Loop closes = my fav. . .

[DigitalChaos]

god damn it. this is what i get for scripting my shit.

[BrokenSpiral]

Ice age and the loop closes are my favorites. The loop closes kinda had an underneath it all mixed with the way out is through kinda vibe to it.

This EP is great. I'd love more songs like Ice Age

[profane]

It's slowly growing on me. I'm on my second listen now. It's a special and surprising piece for sure.

[R-Dot-Yung]

Besides the fact that I actually do enjoy the music. I'm really happy this EP has its own sound. It's fun to see what Trent and Atticus find interesting musically and how it's evolved over the last couple years of film scoring.

Almost makes me want to erase the first EP from memory. Not because it's bad, but just because it doesn't sound like what any of them really wanted HTDA to be.

[Fragile Teeth]

I really like the elements of 3 Ghosts I in the last song on the EP.

[screwdriver]

has anyone noticed how similar the chorus melody of "on the wing" is to "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone?"

[witte]

No

[Paper Street]

Fucking shit this is awesome.

[Fragile Teeth]

Yeah, I was a little worried at first just hearing keep it together.

[thelastdisciple]

Now i REALLY can't wait for some performance videos if they do any for the rest of the tracks on the new EP.

[baudolino]

i'd say more mariqueen songs like ice age will be on the lp. she shows some quite good skills there. not all cards have been played yet. but still, awesome ep.

[Amaro]

has anyone noticed how similar the chorus melody of "on the wing" is to "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone?"

Yep. And Sheryl Crow. And I can't move past it.

Sorry. lol

I don't really like any of this.

[BRoswell]

I was genuinely surprised (in a good way) when Keep It Together transitioned into Ice Age. Not quite through listening to it, but so far I'm really liking it.
