Album Review: Twilight City Fracture deliver soothing EP on Exist

Twilight City Fracture, Exist
Ocean County, New Jersey
Unsigned

For fans of: Sigur Ros, Circa Survive, As Tall As Lions, Minus the Bear

Twilight City Fracture provide a lush musical landscape of songs,  filled with tingly guitar melodies and pretty vocals that are easy on the ears. The pleasant soundscapes remind me of As Tall As Lions and Sigur Ros. While the songs are nice overall, the vocals and guitar sound similar throughout the release and begin to sound monotonous by track 3. The guitars standout the most, however. They're in the vein of indie-punk bands like Snowing and Algernon Cadwallder with their intricate, noodly/experiment guitar work. "Legend of Louisiana" is the longest song on the EP clocking in at 5-minutes and it relaxing to hear. "Organization for the Organized" is one of the best among the 5 songs. Singer Jay sings "It's okay, I've grown accustomed to feeling like I have no place to go inside my own head." There are nice contrasts throughout the release lyrically and musically. The record was produced by Jesse Cannon (The Cure, Head Automatic, Say Anything). Tight production, consistent songs, and a dynamic style nice vibe makes Exist worth the listen.
