This was an EP made for me. “Yellow” is the first track and has some decent vocals and backing “heys” and other things, along with an uneven mix of accompaniment. Nothing sounds superfluous, but it does seem as if an instrument, acting as the glue, is missing.
“Red Rover” is a little better and seems to be mixed in a pop fashion, like the innocuous Kelly Clarkson tracks that play in the background in a casino. “In the Night” has a more uptempo beat and reminds me of Kirsty MacColl.
“Dulcinea” sounds like an AM60 track. Maybe Esquimaux can do Old Navy commercials too. “The Lady of Shalott” is a good song but does not stand out in any way. It could have been saved for the full-length.
“When You’re Gone” is the slow track that always seems to end an EP. The lead singer sounds a bit like Jolie Lindholm, although a bit repressed. I’d like to hear Heather Brown Dodge let loose. She could belt one if she wanted to.
This is a solid effort, and I want to hear more.
