Though many of the track titles are familiar, this EP sees new versions of previously-released tracks plus unreleased interludes for Complot-enthusiasts to enjoy. It starts with Beaver Deceiver which unfolds over five minutes of boundary pushing post and math rock. A quiet, introspective intro quickly gives way to a looping, driving rhythm that has plenty of jangle in among its electronic overtones. It’s a bright opening.
Cicadas keeps things lively with an echoing arrangement and dance beat before Villabajo slows things down with some reflective guitar noodling. Birds Are A Lie completes the first half of the EP with a soaring math rock arrangement that rises and falls with a sense of paranoid adventure.
Tilidin Zidane opens the EP’s second half with a simmering number that mixes melodic verses with hard-rock punctuation. Pigeon Slayer is a gentle and laidback vignette before Bats, Bringer Of The Night gives us the EP’s final full-length track. It represents The Cookie Jar Complot sound at its heaviest while also giving us lighter textured moments. LLTAOS then rounds things off with a quiet coda.
