The debut EP, This Is_The Domani International, recorded at Flickerlight Recording Company and produced by Kevin Clay and Steven Wilson, grabs the listener from the moment it begins to spin. Theres an ethereal, almost Brit-pop sound to Into Forever. The key-and-drum interludes lift the listener to the heavens with just the right dash of guitar to return feet to ground. Such Sweet Sorrow is poised to slip readily onto college or indie radio. Despite its title, the songs an uplifting mélange of guitar, keyboards, and Brett's ascendant vocals. The balladry of Our Colliding Age and, especially, its gently soaring refrain is instantly captivating. Just Keep Breathing is another gem, striking just the right balance between rock and pop. Finally, Out of a Vulgar Machine pays homage to 80s synthpop while sounding fresh and of-the-moment.
