With a lot of piano and incorporating strings, as well as vocals, Broken Spindles one moment creates an ethereal vibe for you to play in your background and mellow out to ("Induction"), while later spooking you with a jarring post-hardcore ("Italian Wardrobe").

Hitting you with everything in between those, too, Broken Spindles create a record that winds and curves, spins and sways, but always sounds like the Broken Spindles. From the experimental to the straight forward (which is rare), here is a record that does a lot while only saying a little. I'll give it a B-.
