Mass Migration are an experimental post-rock band from Brisbane. They've crafted a tiny masterpiece with this fine collection of tracks. The e.p is dark and sombre in places yet raw and frenzied in other areas. The cover art sets the mood perfectly with a hooded figure standing beneath a swarm of black birds in grey skies. 1st song 'empathy rays' starts the album of slowly with quiet synth folowed by duelling guitars that builds into a crashing sound as the mood of the EP enlivens. The 2nd song 'sepia' is one of the more mature tracks with a rollicking drumbeat and the clashing of guitars with piano. The ep then moves into top gear with my favourite track of the album 'green' the main ingredient once again the driving guitars and piano. The 4th track was also one of my favourite tracks with feedback at the start that was reminiscent of tracks off suicides first album this feed back grows into an epic speed and is followed by frenzied guitars that will blow your mind. The mood on the e.p then takes a step down with gentle, laid back track 'post'. 6th track 'there is hope' is also gentle at first but then tapers off into an exploding rhythm at the tale end of the track. Mass Migration manage to Hypnotise the listener with angelic soft rhythms that build into explosions of energy. This is quality stuff.
