4.5 superb | Guillaume | March 26th 23 | Terrific mini album. Borland's voice is always beautiful and moving, his guitar inspired, Graham Bailey's bass lines are punchy, the melodies very beautiful. ""Longest days", "Winter" and "New way of life" are melodic and poignant masterpieces.

3.5 great | Bedex | April 6th 21 | A bit en demi-teinte if you pardon my French. The band displays a lot of talent as always, but also what I hope aren't the first signs of a gradual evolution to something more along the lines of alt-rock than post-punk. I was qutie strongly reminded of U2 in several bits actually. This is especially true of the middle run. It works quite well on 2 which also features a surprisingly prominent bass for the genre, and 3 is fine too, although by then I was like well this isn't really what I expected. 4 in its intro marks a sudden shift to ambient which is really cool and works well at grabbing our attention again, except the ensuing track is actually quite the snoozefest. No, really where it works best is the post-punk tracks. 1 despite its excessively aggressive start that prevents it from being really all that playlistable is perhaps the coolest track here and displays a breadth of ideas that is impressive given the short amount of time. It is rich, it has gritty bits, it's not always perfect, but it really shows that The Sound are an excellent band to be reckoned with. 5 feels like a blessing after a relatively meh mid EP and brings the synth back after a snazzy catchy intro. Only wish it weren't followed by the bland 6 which feels frankly pointless. 3.45
