I think most folks would like to hear a whole lot more.

Matt Mencovik and Kramer (yes, that Kramer) noodle around five songs penned by Mencovik. Those expecting truly strange fare will be disappointed. These are often pretty, sometimes delicate songs that are almost perfectly presented. There must have been a lot of cutting and pasting, but the sound is wonderfully organic. The album title is fitting; I think most folks would like to hear a whole lot more.

Rope, Inc. is part Cure and part Eno.
author: J Sin
Saeta’s lead singer/songwriter Matt Menovcik is one part of this duo Rope, Inc. The other member is known simply as Kramer. Writing gloomy, melancholy gothic electronic tunes, Rope, Inc. is part Cure and part Eno. Despite the depressing angle, “Is That All?” is comprised of some real dynamite cuts. Very piano/keyboard based, the album drips sweaty ballads with sonic landscapes cutting a firm divide between the vocals and the music. Nice.
