The phrase "sweet resistance" speaks to the non violent or passionate unwillingness to embrace something, nay anything and suits this E.P to a T.
For me, it's all a little too sweet and resistant and the music fails to take off in a blaze of glory throughout the E.P. The first track "Young Reverie" sounds like it wants to be cut from the aprons ties of it's mother and run like the wind until it becomes a fully fledged anthem, however it never seems to work up the guts to cut loose. It's sweetly resistant. If this is intentional and the E.P was named before the songs were bedded down then it's very well done and perhaps a stroke of genius, it just doesn't make me want to sing out loud.
The precision production and playing on the E.P deserve big chops. No wonder with the recording services of Jean-Paul Fung (Last Dinosaurs) and acclaimed producer Scott Horscroft on board. The songs are put together cleverly and contain rivulets of texture and rhythm that soak the songs in texture. If you love these guys you're gonna love this E.P.
