Meadows had already played 'domestica' for me but for some reason I didn't really take notice, and much later on I ended up picking this up first during one of my visits to NYC. The first track was absolutely brilliant and moving (not in a spiritual way, more in a jumping up and down sort of way). The ep is supposed to act as a 'hold me over' for 'Ugly Organ', but really it is just a few songs short of being its own great album.

I shape these sounds into harmonic apparitions'
