IÆm not often one for short EPs and singles. I tend to prefer full albums, so
shorter releases donÆt usually get many plays from me. The format works well,
though, for LITE, who pack an albumÆs worth of ideas into three songs on their
new Turns Red EP.
The instrumental math-rock quartet adds synthesizers to their sound with this
release, most prominently on opening track, æThe Sun SankÆ. The overall shift
in sound isnÆt a huge departure, but it suits them well. What drives this
release is that the songs are constantly changing and evolving. ItÆs important
for an instrumental band to vary their sound to stay interesting, so the
addition of synthesizers is a logical step for LITE.
Turns Red EP has a lot in common with Zazen Boys, albeit less experimental, and
with less edge. IÆm enjoying this EP quite a lot, itÆs a good introduction to
LITE and feels a lot more substantial than most three-song releases.
