This is a five-track EP. “Michael Don’t Do It” starts things off with fun keyboards, functional drums and mediocre singing. It’s got a very high snarl ratio, so that just might be what you’re looking for.
“Oliver” sounds about the same. It sounds as if Jennifer Trynin got drunk (and no longer feeling good, apparently) and tried to record something on the dance floor.
“Simple Shoe” focus more on the keyboard and reminds me of Call and Response. This is what we need to hear more of. “If U Wannit” tries to do a Peaches/Siouxsie and the Banshees thing. It works because those two acts needed a mashup made of them anyway, and now Hidden People have done an artist’s rendition of just that.
“Birth Control” rounds things out. It sounds like a remix of a PJ Harvey song. I can see why people would like this. There’s definitely a lot going on with these tracks, and it will be interesting to see what direction the band goes in.
