31 Knots - EP: Polemics
Reviewed by david
A Quick Glance On EP:Polemics, Portland's 31 Knots continue blazing down the road of progressive-pop, enacting drive-by shootings on all the weary travelers and contemporaries left behind in a haze of staggeringly complex rhythms, too-precise guitar acrobatics, and chilling melodies. More often than not the EP is a vehicle for mediocre songs and teaser tracks, but songs like "Sedition's Wish" and "Black Ship Auction" showcase the band's talents in all its glory, making one wonder whether or not Fugazi could pair up with the Kinsella guys to make something on par.
