Let me say this first and foremost – Minus Story performs a cover of The Misfits “Hybrid Moments” on this disc, one of my favorite songs of all time, and the cover is pretty great, and therefore this EP gets a big thumbs up from me. The rest of the material is good too, a jangly mellow pop mess with lots of different instrumentation and whiny-yet-not-irritating vocals. I know the Elephant 6/”listened to a lot of Beach Boys” comparisons are a dime a dozen, but I don’t really know what else to say about it, as it certainly fits. Jagjaguwar keeps bringing the hits lately; this is just more of it.
