Very much a continuation off their last album Eyelid Movies. Synth pop with great female/male harmonies and interesting drumbeats. The combination of rocking out to the beats and getting chilling goosebumps makes me love this EP so much. All great songs but maybe try 4, 6, 5. FCC IN #2!!

1. 16 Years (3:57)- Starts right off strong. Rolling drumbeat, gets your foot tapping. Echoing female vocals
2. Don’t Move (4:18)- FCC (SAYS F***) Vocal sound bites and horn synth alternate around in a cool effect. Upbeat, typical ol’ Phantogram
3. Turning into Stone (4:54)- Starts with siren-like sounds followed by intense beat and buzzy dark tune. Distant male vocals later interrupted by airy, lighter female harmony. Silence towards to the end, but it’s not over!
**4. Make a Fist (4:37)- 5/8 time signature. Upbeat, gets your foot tapping. Darker and more intense at end and then beautiful , dreamy tune
*5. Nightlife (4:07)- Moving slightly away from their typical style. Starts off with acoustic guitar picking and airy female vocals. Later picks up with a more buzz-y tune and drums. Different but nice
**6. A Dark Tunnel (5:29)- Sirens again then bang! Buzz-y tune and intense, echo-y male vocals. Then beautiful female vocals take you out of the darkness to a calmer, airy tune. Beautiful. Also, some creepy crow cawing here and there
