BRAINWASHED.COM REVIEW:
If it is truly the final release from Glover/Grimalkin and Mike Cruickshank, they are going out on an especially high note. Their four songs fit in consistently with their previous split with Burnt Hair and their Violent Rain LP with mostly midpaced structures and the occasional uptempo surprise. Lead by some excellently produced snappy synthetic drums, "Wings of a Millstone" opens their half of the tape on a strong note. Vocals are kept in the distance to maximize the sense of space created, which also accentuates the slow guitar melodies Glover provides.

The trio begin "Grey is the Only Line" with a wonderful pulsating synth line with rhythmic accents, and the guitar melody again making for an excellent focal point. The overall feel is slow, dour, and depressing, but the heavy syndrum sound gives it the edge to make it stand out strongly. The closing "Thoreau Goes to Ferguson" is similarly paced, but with a distinctly strong bass line, and Glover’s vocals mixed more up front compared to most of the other album.

The high point for the Ars Phoenix half is the previously released (as a video) "Lifetime Supply." With its faster tempo and slightly harder drive contrasting the more moody songs very well, it excels in its energy and catchiness. That edge, plus a memorable chorus from both Glover and Grimalkin, results in one of the band’s strongest works, and one that makes their imminent dissolution even more disheartening.
